According to the WSJ, the US is not happy that Israel does not want to reveal its plans towards Iran.

October 9, 2024 US officials report that Israel is refusing to reveal its plans to retaliate against Tehran to the Biden administration.

Despite this, the White House is urging Israel not to attack Iran's oil or nuclear facilities due to concerns about a possible escalation of the regional war, notes Nancy Youssef, a correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. US officials are expressing disappointment over Israel's surprise military moves in Gaza and Lebanon and are trying to prevent further escalation. Some were hoping the US would get more information about Israel's plans during a planned visit by Israeli Defense Minister Galant to the Pentagon today, but the trip has been postponed.

An Israeli official said Biden and Netanyahu plan to have a telephone conversation today about Israel's response to the Iranian missile attack. Some officials in Washington hope Israel will prepare its plan and communicate it to the United States well in advance of any possible campaign. The Telegraph reported that Israel is in no hurry to respond to Iran's attack because it wants to be well prepared and relies on an alliance with US Central Command to defend against Iranian missiles and therefore must act in accordance with their strategy.
