(Bloomberg) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to limit his country’s retaliation against Iran over the missile attack on Oct. 1 to military targets, according to a report in the Washington Post. Such a decision would be a relief for President Joe Biden, whose administration has urged Israel not to strike Iranian nuclear or energy sites for fear of escalating the conflict in the Middle East. Oil dropped at the start of trading after the report was published. (Adds statement from prime minister’s office in fourth paragraph.) Most Read from Bloomberg Businessweek©2024 Bloomberg L.P.
