WASHINGTON — US President Joe Biden says he did not believe any Israeli strikes against Iran would come today, as the region tensely awaits a response to Tehran’s massive missile attack on Israel.

“First of all, we don’t ‘allow’ Israel, we advise Israel. And there is nothing going to happen today,” Biden tells reporters at the White House when asked if he would allow Israel to retaliate against Iran.
