US President Biden Orders Military to Aid Israel’s Defense Against Iranian Missile Attacks
President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to provide assistance to Israel in defending against Iranian missile attacks. The decision was announced by the White House, which stated that the President has directed the military to “aid Israel’s defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel.”
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are closely monitoring the situation from the White House situation room, as tensions between the US and Iran continue to escalate. The US military has been placed on high alert to respond to any potential threats from Iran.
The timing of the President’s decision is significant, as it coincides with the upcoming Jewish high holiday season, which begins with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. A scheduled call with rabbis, which was intended to take place on Tuesday, has been postponed to a later date.
This development marks the second time in recent months that the US has stepped in to defend Israel against an Iranian attack. In April, the US and other Western allies provided military support to Israel after Tehran launched a combined missile and drone attack in retaliation for an Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as the situation unfolds.
