United States President Joe Biden has lauded American forces for their swift action in assisting Israel following an unprecedented attack launched by Iran. In a statement, President Biden expressed his condemnation for the attacks and praised the US military’s efforts in aiding Israel to intercept nearly all drones and missiles deployed by Iran during the assault. According to President Biden, the US had strategically positioned aircraft and warships in the region before the attack occurred, underscoring the level of preparedness in response to the escalating tensions. “I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms,” President Biden asserted, affirming America’s steadfast commitment to Israel’s security. Israel reported that Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles towards its territory, marking the first direct attack from Iranian soil. While the majority of the projectiles were intercepted, a few managed to inflict damage, including a strike on an IDF base in southern Israel, resulting in injuries, including that of a young girl. The attack came in the wake of Iran’s warning of retaliation for an earlier strike on its consulate in Syria, which claimed the lives of seven Iranian officers, including a senior commander. Despite Israel neither confirming nor denying responsibility for the attack, tensions between the two nations have heightened. President Biden reiterated his support for Israel during a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “I’ve just spoken with Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu to reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel.
