US President Joe Biden says that Israel appears to have exclusively hit military targets in last night’s retaliatory attack against Iran.

Biden tells reporters that he hopes the Israeli strike marks the end of the back and forth with Iran.

“It looks like they didn’t hit anything other than military targets. My hope is this is the end,” he says.
