The US president said his commitment to Israel’s security was “ironclad” and that Washington would do “all we can” to protect it from an attack by Tehran.
Already a subscriber?Joe Biden has warned Iran not to launch an attack on Israel, amid reports of an “imminent” missile strike targeting the country.
“As I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad. Let me say it again, ironclad…all we can to protect Israel’s security.”Foreign embassies have reportedly already begun evacuations in anticipation of a strike, after Iran’s supreme leader said Israel “must be punished” for an air strike on an Iranian embassy compound in Syria.. The US government has said it was not aware of the attack in advance.
Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defence minister, has said Israel would respond to an attack with its own strike on Iranian soil.
