American leader Joe Biden, during a recent telephone conversation with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, called for the preparation of such a devastating blow to Iran that would deter it from new attacks.

Points of attention

  • The White House denies direct involvement in Israel's operation against Iran but supports Israel's actions for self-defense.
  • Official statements emphasize the need for deterrence and self-defense, while unofficial reports suggest prior warning from Israel to the US about the strikes.
  • The situation underscores the complex dynamics between the US, Israel, and Iran in the context of regional security and geopolitical tensions.

Biden is trying to stop Iran

According to journalists, the White House expects that Israel will retaliate against Iran by November 5.

During recent talks with Netanyahu, the American leader discussed the overall situation and "urged the prime minister to develop a response that would deter further attacks on Israel while reducing the risk of further escalation."

And this is our goal. That is also Israel's goal, as they said tonight, if Iran chooses to respond, we are fully prepared to defend ourselves again against any attack, another anonymous source said.

The IDF press service officially announced the strikes on Iran in response to "months of continuous attacks by the Iranian regime." Military facilities became the key targets of Israeli strikes.

How the USA comments on this information at the official level

Joe Biden's team continues to claim that the American side did not participate in Israel's operation against Iran.

The statement on this occasion was made by the speaker of the National Security Council of the White House, Sean Savett.

"We understand that Israel is carrying out targeted strikes on military facilities in Iran in self-defense and in response to Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel on October 1," the spokesman emphasized.

In addition, he urged journalists to contact the Israeli government for additional information.

Unofficially, an unnamed American official said that Israel had warned the US in advance about the strikes.

When Russia may attack NATO — Zelensky's warning

Office of the President of Ukraine
Zelensky warned about Putin's plans

According to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin could launch an invasion of NATO as early as 2026.

Points of attention

  • In 2025, Russia plans to prepare 15 divisions, which will most likely be based in Belarus.
  • As Zelensky noted, it is necessary to take into account the potential threat and prevent war.

Zelensky warned about Putin's plans

The head of state made a statement on this issue on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.

According to Volodymyr Zelensky, already in 2025, the aggressor country Russia will prepare 15 divisions for training and reinforcement in the Belarusian direction.

There is a high probability that all of them will be on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, or partially.

What is important to understand is that we are talking about 100-150 thousand people.

Zelensky is not sure that this large group will launch an offensive against Ukraine.

They could go to Ukraine, like they did in 2022, or they could go to Poland or the Baltics. I think that's his idea. From everything I'm getting from intelligence, I think he's preparing for war with NATO countries next year.

As the head of state noted, he is not 100 percent certain of such a scenario. Zelensky expressed hope that it will be possible to prevent this.
