In other words the Israelis aren’t telling the US what they’re actually doing, or the US is being told and we’re basically saying everything is a target because nothing is.

Israel assures US it plans to target Iran’s military, not oil or nuclear sites, source says
Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have assured the United States that a counterstrike on Iran will be limited to military targets rather than oil or nuclear facilities, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
President Joe Biden, who has conveyed in public his opposition to striking Tehran’s nuclear and oil facilities, discussed Israel’s plans with Netanyahu during a classified phone call last week. In that conversation, Netanyahu relayed to Biden his plan to hit military targets, the person said.
The Washington Post first reported that Netanyahu had reassured Biden of his plans to avoid nuclear and oil targets.
Responding to that report, Netanyahu’s office said it will consider US opinions but ultimately decide its response to Iran’s October 1 attack based on its own national interests. And American officials said they were still closely coordinating with Israel as it decides how to respond.
