The curtain seems to have fallen on Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel and now we are thinking regarding the future and Benjamin Netanyahu’s next moves. During the night in which Iranian drones and missiles launched themselves from Tehran towards the Jewish state, American President Joe Biden heard the Israeli Prime Minister several times and the rumors regarding what they said, he drew the red line beyond which the The United States does not want to enter into a confrontation or a hypothetical regional war with the Ayatollahs. “You had a victory, take it,” Biden reportedly told Netanyahu, trying to curb Tel Aviv’s reaction once morest Iran. And in addition he would also have reported that the United States will not participate in any offensive action organized by the executive branch of the Jewish State. Viviana Mazza on Il Corriere della Sera reconstructs the dialogues between the White House and Israel and the next possible steps of the two administrations.
What worries Washington first and foremost is the willingness of Netanyahu and his government, expressed to the media shortly following the start of the Iranian attack, to respond to Tehran. Increasingly pressing concerns given that the risk is that of a regional war with catastrophic consequences. It is precisely in this context that Biden would have invited Netanyahu to take the victory gained overnight; Bibi on his side would have replied that he understood but would not have ensured moderation. There is discussion at all levels between Washington and Tel Aviv. The head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, and his counterpart Yoav Gallant also spoke. In the phone calls, the Secretary of Defense would have asked to receive news before a possible military response from Tel Aviv.
American support linked solely to the defense of the Jewish State from its enemies and a note from the White House reiterated how ironclad American support is: “We helped Israel shoot down almost all the incoming drones and missiles – we read in Joe Biden’s statement – . I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to Israel’s security. I told him that Israel has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to defend itself and defeat unprecedented attacks, sending a clear message to its enemies that they cannot effectively threaten Israel’s security.” The next steps are also linked to the G7: Joe Biden, in fact, will bring together the leaders of the 7 countries to coordinate a diplomatic response to Iran. Action for which all available resources in the region will be activated and with which it is hoped to also stop Tel Aviv from taking further actions. Apparent calm and no direct escalation but Washington’s guard still remains high and Joe Biden himself says so: “Although we have not seen attacks once morest our forces and facilities today, we remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take actions necessary to protect our people.”
