Why does the United States refuse to support Israel in retaliation against Iran?
The White House has warned Israel that the United States will not participate in any retaliatory strikes against Iran, according to senior officials.
more than 300 drones and rockets were fired at Israel last night, which Iran said was in response to the April 1 attack on the consulate in Syria.

Almost all of the weapons were shot down by the Israeli, US and their allies before reaching their targets.
officials said Joe Biden urged Israel to consider its response "carefully".speaking to reporters on Sunday, a senior administration official said Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "think carefully and strategically" about how his forces would respond to the unprecedented move, which is the first direct attack on one made by Iran in that country.the official added that the Biden administration believes that Israel "connived" in the confrontation, which began when senior Iranian military commanders were killed in the Iranian consulate building in Syria.

approximately 99 percent of missiles, drones and cruise missiles fired during Iran's retaliatory operation were intercepted.
US aircraft and naval vessels fired dozens of missiles from Iran when the attack occurred. more than 80 drones and about six missiles were shot down by US planes and ships or the Iraqi Air Force.
the conversation between Biden and Netanyahu took place during the "tragedy" shortly after the attack, which included about 100 ballistic missiles flying simultaneously towards Israel.
during the call, the two leaders discussed "how to think about things", with Mr Biden insisting that Israel "has done well."

in a series of videos broadcast on American networks early this morning, national security spokesman John Kirby reiterated that the United States has made it clear to Israel that it wants to avoid a major conflict.
senior officials said a similar message was sent to Iran through diplomatic channels.
Mr Kirby and the official both said the US would continue to defend Israel, but ruled out any response to an Israeli attack.
this position has been criticized by some US congressmen and former officials of both political parties.

Ohio Republican Representative Mike Turner, who serves as chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said Mr Kirby's comments on the resolution of the dispute were "bad".
"It's already making the situation worse, and the administration needs to respond," he told NBC.
John Bolton, who was the national security adviser during the time of President Donald Trump, said that the United States should join forces with Israel if it chooses to carry out retaliatory attacks against Iran's nuclear program.
after Iran's attack on Israel, House Speaker Mike Johnson said the organization would "try again" to send military aid to Israel.
Previous attempts to send more aid to Israel have stalled amid Democratic calls for aid to include aid to Taiwan and Ukraine
