CNN: Biden told Netanyahu US will not participate in offensive operations against Iran, US official says
CNN: Biden tells Netanyahu tonight was a win, nothing of "value" hit in Israel, US official says
FT: Western diplomats said Israel might be able to tolerate an attack that only did some physical damage to military facilities.

This was calibrated and coordinated by US and Iran with Oman in the middle relaying messages to both sides. The BIG question is if Netanyahu will agree to end this here, or if he will break with Biden WH and respond militarily to Iran.

👉 Reminds me of Soleimani affair.
Iran launched ballistic missiles at the al-Asad Airbase in Iraq in response to the assassination of Soleimani by a US drone.

Iran informed the Iraqi government of an imminent attack beforehand. Switzerland was relaying messages between US and Iran before the strike.

The strike was deliberately designed to avoid causing any fatalities in order to dissuade a US response. Iran got its big retaliation/strike on US airbase. Trump continued to say he took out Soleimani.
Escalation/war averted.
