The Pentagon says it is in discussions with Israeli officials about their possible response to Iran’s missile attack earlier this week, but declines to offer more details on the talks.
“We are certainly talking to them about their response, but what their response might be, I’m just not going to speculate further on. But we do continue to engage with them,” says Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh.
Israel is reportedly mulling an attack on Iran’s nuclear or oil facilities as part of the retaliation for Tuesday’s attack, which saw Iran fire 181 ballistic missiles at Israel, sending most of the country into bomb shelters and causing considerable damage but only one known fatality — a Palestinian man in the West Bank.
