Biden vows G7 response, ‘ironclad’ US support for Israel after Iran attacks
US president reiterates support for Israel in call with Netanyahu amid reports that he is also opposed to counterattack.
US President Joe Biden has condemned Iranian attacks on military facilities in Israel, pledging a coordinated Group of Seven (G7) diplomatic response while highlighting the United States’s help in taking down “nearly all” of the attacking drones and missiles.
Biden, who cut short a trip to Delaware and returned to Washington, DC to meet advisers over the late Saturday night attack, said in a statement released by the White House that the US forces and facilities had not been hit.
The US president said he reiterated the “ironclad” support for Israel’s security in a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom he has had strained relations over Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza.
“Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” he said.
“And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people,” he said.
US is gonna go to war against Iran aren't they? And over something as stupid as protecting israel's genocide.
First Thought made a great video on what that could look like
What's crazy about this whole situation is Iran attacked Israel because Israel bombed Iran's embassy in Syria killing a general and 6 others... and governments are telling Iran not to overreact.
Like bruh, how would you react if your embassy was bombed in a 3rd country killing your general and 6 other nationals
Iran has kept their end of the bargain of not attacking US targets. Of course the US does not keep theirs of not interfering, and shoots down Iranian drones instead.
In a written message to Washington, Iran “warned the US not to get dragged into Netanyahu’s trap”, Mohammad Jamshidi, the Iranian president’s deputy chief of staff for political affairs, wrote on X, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The US should “step aside so that you don’t get hit”.
“In response, the US asked Iran not to hit American targets,” Jamshidi said.
Stop bailing Israel out. They literally bombed an embassy. They do not need the G7 to help them.
Fuck off Brandon
US Empire gotta Empire, even though Israel struck first.
"World's biggest terrorist organisation supports genocidal sky-fairy worshippers"
Oh, quelle surprise
Aiding and abetting criminals.
Ah… election year isnt it?
We've heard this all before, U.S. is now agreeing to supply an endless chain of terrorist engagements in surrounding areas of the states involved. Get ready to hear about rocket seiges and mid city suicide bombings. This is so stupid, worst diplomacy ever.
