The US has privately notified Israel that in the event of a retaliatory strike against Iran, it "will do it alone," ABC television station reports, citing sources. The channel emphasizes that this is an unusual message for a close ally that for decades has received more military aid from Washington than any other country in the world.
However, after months of independent Israeli action in the Gaza Strip and harsh criticism from the White House that the IDF had gone too far, the Biden administration has made it clear that Washington will not engage in offensive action against Tehran.
