Biden orders U.S. forces to aid Israel’s defence against Iran
The White House in a statement said President Joe Biden has directed U.S. forces to aid Israel’s defence against Iran, which launched missile attacks against the Jewish state.
Sean Savett, U.S. National Security Council spokesperson, said Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris “are monitoring the Iranian attack against Israel from the White House Situation Room & receiving regular updates from their national security team.”
According to the spokesperson, Biden has “directed the U.S. military to aid Israel’s defence against Iranian attacks & shoot down missiles targeting Israel.”
The U.S. forces included the Naval warship.
The statement came as Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said it had targeted Israel with dozens of ballistic missiles.
