US President Joe Biden deliberately behaved with restraint after Iran’s attacks on Israel and did not address the nation, believing that a televised address would provoke Iran and lead to an escalation of the conflict.
About it writes Politico.
According to the publication, the idea of the American leader to deliver a national address after the joint reflection by US and Israeli forces of Iranian drones and missiles was discussed in the White House.
According to the article, advisers estimate that the presence of the American president in the spotlight would increase tensions in the conflict.
Earlier, Biden discussed with congressional party leaders the need to agree on new aid to Israel in the wake of the Iranian attack.
He also discussed Iran’s attack on Israel with the G7.
Also, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken emphasised the need to avoid further escalation in the Middle East after Iran’s attack on Israel.
