Israel will listen to the United States but will decide its actions according to its own national interest, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement on Tuesday.

The statement was attached to a Washington Post article which said Netanyahu had told President Joe Biden's administration that Israel would strike Iranian military, not nuclear or oil, targets.
