JAKARTA - United States (US) President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss Israel's plans to carry out a counter-attack against Iran.

The conversation that was held on Wednesday, October 9 evening US time, was the two leaders' first chat since August and coincided with the increase in Israeli conflict with Iran and Hezbollah.

The Middle East is nervous about waiting for Israel's response to Tehran's missile strike last week in retaliation for Israel's military escalation in Lebanon.

Iran's attacks ultimately did not kill anyone in Israel and Washington called them ineffective.

Netanyahu vowed his arch-foe Iran would pay for its missile strike, while Tehran said any retaliation would cause major devastation, raising fears of a wider war in oil-producing areas that could attract the United States.
