"Nothing is going to happen"

The incident took place on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024, when Biden addressed reporters outside of the White House.

There, Biden was asked whether, in light of recent events, Israel planned to carry out a strike against Iran. This was when Biden let it slip that Israel was not planning on carrying out that strike on that particular day.

"First of all, we don’t ‘allow’ Israel, we advise Israel. And there is nothing going to happen today. I would not back Israel attacking Iranian nuclear sites," Biden said.

Breitbart News reports, "He made the remarks on the South Lawn before departing aboard Marine One without any further clarification or citing of a source for the military intelligence revelation."

Biden also said that "we are discussing" the idea of Israel carrying out an attack on Iran's oil facilities. The president added, "I think that would be a little… anyway."

Background

The world is currently waiting to see if Israel is going to carry out an attack on Iran after Iran, on Tuesday, launched over 180 missiles at Israel. Iran's attack came on the eve of the Jewish New Year, which is known as Rosh Hashanah.

According to CBS News, the United States did help Israel to defend against the attack. The outlet reports:

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said many of the missiles were intercepted by Israel's air defense systems, though some landed in southern and central Israel. The U.S. helped Israel defend against Iran's attack.

It would seem as though it is more of a matter of "when" not "if" Israel will retaliate against Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to CBS News, has vowed revenge on Iran, saying:

The regime of Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves. They will understand. We will stand by the rule we established: Whoever attacks, we will attack them.

It would probably help, though, if Biden does not leak Israel's intentions.
