Biden anticipates the Iran-Israel conflict, and the U.S. Prepares to Support Israel.
WASHINGTON D. C — During a White House briefing, President Joe Biden expressed concerns on Friday about a potential imminent attack by Iran on Israel. He emphasized the United States’ commitment to Israel’s defense should such an event occur.
While addressing the media, President Biden suggested that the likelihood of Iran engaging in offensive actions against Israel was high, stating it could happen “sooner than later.” Although he refrained from disclosing sensitive details, he clearly communicated a stern warning to Iran with a succinct “Don’t.”
The President reiterated the U.S.’s unwavering support for Israel, declaring, “We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel; we will help defend Israel, and Iran will not succeed.”
This announcement follows an incident where Iran accused Israel of attacking its consulate in Damascus, which Israeli authorities claim was a facility being used by Iran’s Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for military purposes. In response, Iran’s leadership has signaled intentions of retaliation, escalating tensions between the two nations.
John Kirby, a spokesperson for the National Security Council, underscored ongoing U.S. efforts to ensure Israel’s readiness against such threats, confirming “constant communication” between the U.S. and Israeli defense forces.
