War: US responds to Iran’s threat to attack Israel

 President of the United State of America, Joe Biden has
vowed that his country’s commitment to defend Israel against Iran was
“ironclad”. This comes over concerns in Washington that a “significant”
Iranian strike could happen within days. Iran has maintained its stance in retaliating against the
bombing of an Iranian consular building in Damascus. America and allied officials fear that a strike is imminent
and could come in the form of a direct missile launch from Iran, rather than an
attack through a proxy like Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel has vowed to respond in kind to such a direct strike,
raising the prospect of a regional war, which US officials now believe is more
likely than at any point since the beginning of the Gaza conflict on 7 October. Biden’s pledge of support to Israel at the White House,
intended as a deterrent, came a few hours after Iran’s supreme leader,
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, repeated a threat to strike back against Israel over
the Damascus bombing that killed 12 people, including Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi,
a senior figure in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and six other
guard members. “When they attacked our consulate area, it was like they
attacked our territory,” Khamenei said, in remarks broadcast by Iranian state
TV. “The evil regime must be punished, and it will be punished,”
he added. Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, responded in a post
on the X social media platform, vowing that: “If Iran attacks from its
territory, Israel will respond and attack in Iran.” Biden’s pledge to Israel on the White House lawn, in a joint
appearance with the Japanese prime minister, Fumio Kishida, appeared to be a
response to that warning, insisting the US would not stay on the sidelines. “We also want to address the Iranian threat to launch a
significant – they’re threatening to launch a significant attack in Israel,”
Biden said. “As I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, our commitment to
Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad. 















































“Let me say it again, ironclad. We’re gonna do all we can to
protect Israel’s security.”
