A senior US State Department official said Israel has not assured the Biden administration it would refrain from attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, Anadolu reports citing according to CNN.

The official said that it is “really hard to tell” whether Tel Aviv would retaliate on the one-year mark of an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, last Oct 7 against Israel.

“We hope and expect to see some wisdom as well as strength, but as you guys know, no guarantees,” the unnamed official said after CNN asked if Israel provided guarantees to the US on its military intentions toward Iran.
