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.
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
And somehow the elected leader of our country is going against the will of the population by supporting israel and dragging us into another massive war.
The word “massive” is an understatement
Stop bailing Israel out. They literally bombed an embassy. They do not need the G7 to help them.
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.
The man really wants his reelection to die on this hill
Wow so glad this is the lesser evil I’ll have to vote for. Fuck this country man.
I left after Trump was elected. The downward spiral marches on it seems.
Plenty of 3rd party candidates to vote for. No one is forcing you to vote for Biden but every vote for Biden is telling him that it’s OK to keep doing what he’s doing. A vote for Biden is a vote for Genocide.
Voting for a 3rd party is a vote for Trump. If you think Trump is less genocidal I have some magic beans to sell you.
No, a vote for 3rd party is quite literally a vote for 3rd party. Stop shaming people because they don’t want to vote for your candidate. If Biden wants people to vote for him then he needs to earn it. Dems can’t just do nothing for anyone and fund a genocide and expect to win on being the lesser evil.
US Empire gotta Empire, even though Israel struck first.
Aiding and abetting criminals.
Ah… election year isnt it?
Fuck off Brandon
