U.S. President Biden said that according to my instructions, the U.S. military actively supports Israel’s defense. We are still evaluating its impact, but what we know now is that this attack by Iran completely failed and seemed to have no effect. This was a one-time attack. Proving that Israel’s military capabilities are comparable to those of the US military.
Biden said it was also evidence of intensive planning between the United States and Israel to anticipate and defend against the attack. Biden said the United States fully supports Israel and I spent part of the morning and afternoon in the Situation Room meeting with my entire national security team and consulting directly with the Israelis. The national security team is doing exactly what I said. “We are in constant contact with Israeli officials and their counterparts,” Biden said.
After Iran launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel, Biden said the United States was paying close attention to events in the Middle East and was committed to Israel’s defense.
At the same time, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said before meeting with Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar at the State Department in Washington that Iran launched a direct attack on Israel for the second time in five months, including about 200 ballistic missiles, and that the entire incident was completely unacceptable. , the whole world should condemn it. Initial reports indicate that Israel, with active support from the United States and other partners, effectively foiled the attack.
