Israel hits Iran with 'limited' strikes despite White House's reported opposition

Despite the White House voicing it would not take part in any retaliatory attack against Iran by Israel, the Jewish state issued "limited" strikes early Friday.

A well-placed military source has told Fox that the strike was "limited."

The news came after President Joe Biden warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. would not take part in a counter-offensive against Iran.

Kirby said "our commitment is ironclad" to defending Israel and to "helping Israel defend itself," after being asked if the U.S. would support retaliation.

Kirby doubled-down on the fact that Biden does not "seek" war with Iran.
