Biden said he will speak with Netanyahu when plan to attack Iran is agreed

US President Joe Biden told reporters that he still plans to speak to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but is waiting for a plan on how Israel will attack Iran to be finalised first. 

"I'm assuming when they make their judgement about how they're going to respond, we will then have a discussion," he said. 

Biden said US officials are in regular contact with Israeli officials. 

He made a surprise appearance at the briefing room where he walked back comments yesterday in which he revealed Israel and the US had discussed striking Iranian oil facilities.
