โIt looks like they didnโt hit anything other than military targets. My hope is this is the end,โ he told reporters in Philadelphia.
He said that he spent time earlier Saturday being briefed by the intelligence community.
The president added he did receive a heads up ahead of the Israeli strikes.
Biden administration officials have announced the US was not directly involved with the strike, but had been consulting closely with Israel.
The Israeli army targeted military centers in the Iranian provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam in the early hours of Saturday despite warnings from Iran that any adventurism by Israeli would face a harsh response.
Iran announced its air defense system intercepted and countered the attacks, with limited damage reported in some areas.
The extent of the incident is currently under investigation.
Iranโs Foreign Ministry has defended Tehranโs right โto defend itself against external aggressive actsโ.
