World News: As tensions in the Middle East rise, President Joe Biden has urged Israel to avoid escalating the situation by attacking Irans oil infrastructure in response to a missile barrage from Iran. Speaking at the White House, Biden acknowledged Israels need to retaliate, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed. However, Biden cautioned against striking oil facilities, which could further destabilize the region and have global economic consequences.In a missile assault earlier this week, Iran fired 200 ballistic missiles at Israeli targets, causing minimal damage due to Israels missile defense system. Despite this, Netanyahu has promised a retaliatory strike, though the exact timing remains unclear. Biden emphasized exploring alternatives, stating, “If I were in their shoes, Id be thinking about other alternatives than striking oil fields.”Oil prices witness sharp inflation Amid the ongoing conflict, oil prices have fluctuated sharply, with West Texas Intermediate oil prices initially surging before stabilizing after Bidens comments.
