Biden affirms US backing for Israel following Iran attacks • FRANCE 24 English

After Iran’s recent ballistic missile attacks on Israel, President Joe Biden has reaffirmed the United States’ strong support for its Middle Eastern ally. In a statement on Tuesday, Biden condemned the attacks as “defeated and ineffective,” and expressed his commitment to working closely with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to determine an appropriate response.

The escalating tensions between Iran and Israel have raised concerns about the potential for further conflict in the region. The Iranian attacks were seen as a direct provocation to Israel, which has long been a key US ally in the Middle East. Biden’s statement signals the US government’s unwavering support for Israel’s security and sovereignty.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Israel and the US will choose to respond to Iran’s aggression. With Iran’s missile attacks being described as ineffective, it is clear that both countries are committed to defending against any threats to their national security. The world will be watching closely as the leaders of the US and Israel navigate this delicate diplomatic and military situation.

In Washington DC, FRANCE 24’s Fraser Jackson reports on the latest developments in this tense and volatile situation.
