According to an Israeli official, Iran has launched dozens of drones and cruise missiles towards Israel. This comes after the United States anticipated that Iran would carry out strikes against multiple targets within Israel. The retaliation is believed to be in response to an alleged Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. President Joe Biden is returning to Washington, D.C. to meet with his national security team to address the situation.
An official from the US National Security Council has stated that Iran’s attack on Israel is “likely to unfold over a number of hours.” President Biden is closely monitoring the situation and will be meeting with his national security team this afternoon at the White House. The team remains in constant communication with Israeli officials and other partners and allies. The President has reassured that the United States’ support for Israel’s security is unwavering, and they will stand with the people of Israel to defend against these threats from Iran.
Additionally, Iranian state media has confirmed that retaliatory drone strikes have indeed been launched at targets in Israel. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has carried out extensive drone strikes in the occupied territories, further escalating the tensions in the region.
To address the escalating situation, President Biden will convene with his national security leaders in the Situation Room at the White House. The gravity of the situation necessitates immediate and strategic discussions to ensure the safety and security of all parties involved.
