    [Israel](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/15/israel-iran-war-hezbollah-lebanon-latest-news1/) will not attack Iran’s oil or nuclear facilities ahead of the [US election](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us-election/), [Benjamin Netanyahu](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/13/netanyahu-orders-un-immediately-move-lebanon-peacekeepers/), the Israeli prime minister, reportedly told [Joe Biden](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2024/10/12/joe-biden-considers-stationing-combat-troops-israel/).

    The price of oil fell after The Washington Post reported that Israel’s response will be relatively restrained and focus on Iran’s military bases.

    Mr Biden, the US president, had [advised Israel not to strike nuclear](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/02/us-wont-support-attack-on-irans-nuclear-sites/) or oil plants, fearful of a spike in oil prices that could swing the election against the Democrats.

    Israel’s response will be carried out before the US election on Nov 5, two sources told The Post.

  2. I feel like he might anyway; Netenyahu wants a Trump win and obviously isn’t above lying to Biden.

  3. He ll attack Iran anyway , whether Biden Administration says yes or no .. He ll attack cuz he CAN … As simple as that …

  4. This may be a myopic perspective, but wouldn’t an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities be a strategic benefit for, really, the free world? I assume the wisdom against this would be escalation of violence but if Israel’s attack is impactful enough, wouldn’t anything lead to that? If that is the case, might as well take out their nuclear.

  5. That sounds like what somebody who’s going to target Iranian nuclear and oil facilities would say.

  6. Biden doesn’t exist!! He’s a figure head.

    Title should read,

    # Benjamin Netanyahu tells Schumer and Pelosi, Israel will not target Iran nuclear or oil facilities until after the election.
