U.S. President Joe Biden is cutting his weekend trip short to discuss events in the Middle East and consult with his national security team. He expects an Iranian attack against Israel in the near future. Israel has put its military on full alert and the U.S. Defense Secretary has reiterated full support for Israel against attacks by Iran and its proxies.
U.S. President Joe Biden will return to Washington on Saturday afternoon to consult with his national security team a day after saying that he expects an Iran ian attack against Israel “sooner, rather than later.”
Tehran has vowed to retaliate for Israel’s attack on Iran’s embassy compound last week in Damascus that killed a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ overseas Quds Force and six other officers. Earlier on Saturday, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to discuss “urgent regional threats,” the Pentagon said, and reiterated full U.S. support for Israel against attacks by Iran and its proxies.
