Washington asks Israel not to fire oil and nuclear objects of Iran - ft

The White House Head acknowledged that discussions were ongoing. Joe Baiden's statements have led to a jump in oil prices: oil traders are afraid of supply. Representatives of Washington and Tel Aviv have recently discussed the possibility of an Israeli attack on the Iran military and energy infrastructure as measures in response to Iranian shelling of Israel's territory on October 1. About it reports the British edition of The Financial Times.

Journalist interlocutors noted that in the United States seek to limit the potentially possible response of Israel, in an attempt to prevent even greater expansion of the Middle East conflict. Among other things, there is evidence that the US does not plan to join Iran's blows and count on Tel Aviv. Washington's representative noted that the discussion is still in Israel.

The EU diplomat reported to the publication that the oil or nuclear complexes of Iran were not attacked by Israel, but there were no guarantees. Another EU diplomat complained that it is not possible to influence the decisions of Israel. "It is sad to watch how little we can influence these events . . . Hence a little pessimism and even fatalism in our discussions," the quote says. The US representative told reporters that Washington was not expected to participate in blows.
