Biden Orders US Forces to Defend Israel Against Iran

 

President Joe Biden has given an order to United State’s forces to defend Israel against Iran.

 

This was confirmed in a statement issued on Wednesday by the White House.

 

Recall that Iran on Tuesday launched missiles against Israel.

 

US National Security Council spokesperson, Sean Savett, said Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are monitoring the Iranian attack against Israel from the White House Situation Room and are receiving regular updates from the national security team.

 

Savett said Biden had directed the US military to aid Israel’s defence against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles targeting Israel.

 

The statement came as Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said it had targeted Israel with dozens of ballistic missiles.
