Iran sent a message to the Biden administration through several Arab countries earlier this week: if the U.S. gets involved in the fighting between Israel and Iran.
The Iranian supreme leader has threatened "punishment" for Israel but through private channels Iran has signaled it would be limited.
Israel and the U.S. think an Iranian attack would include the launch of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and attack drones from Iran to Israeli territory.
U.S. officials say the Biden administration asked Israel to notify the U.S. and for the U.S. to have a say before decisions are made about any retaliation by Israel.

How would you feel if your country was asked to stay out of a conflict between two other nations but faced threats if it got involved?
I would feel a bit scared but I would like probably stay out of it unless I feel it’s gotten to a bad point
@9LJ4ZDMChristian Heritage12mos12MO
Weigh your options, this question is too vague. There’s more to it.
@9LJ3BS312mos12MO
I would feel relieved. I would still want to help the other country, but I would be really glad that mine wasn't in danger.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
Should a country always come to the defense of its allies, regardless of the consequences?
@9LJ3BS312mos12MO
No, there is no reason for two countries to suffer. If the country in need of help tells the other to stay away, that country should listen. After all, it was the country in need of help's choice.
Depends but you still should support your allies if it costs you, but not all the time
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
How would you react if your country received a direct threat from another nation for potentially involving itself in an international conflict?
@9LJ3BS312mos12MO
I would feel very scared. I would even consider leaving my country. I don't think anyone should have to live through a war.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
Do you think it's fair for a country to ask another not to intervene in its disputes, even if the conflict could impact global peace?
@9LJ3BS312mos12MO
Yes, I think it is fair. Usually that country is trying to protect the other one, and it's that country's business. The one exception would be if it got really bad.
