President of the United States of America Joe Biden has promised to provide support to Israel in the event of an attack by Iran, informs Bild.
During a conversation with journalists, Biden stated that Iran threatens Israel with a "serious attack."
"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 going to do all we can to protect Israel’s security," said the President of the United States.
Escalation between Israel and Iran
On April 1st, a rocket strike in Damascus, Syria, completely destroyed the building of the Iranian consulate. At least seven Iranians were killed, including two generals.
Despite Israel's repeated strikes on Iran-related targets in Syria over the past few months, this was the first time the IDF targeted an Iranian diplomatic building.
Iran officially blamed Israel for the attack and promised a "harsh" response. On April 4th, the CIA warned that within 48 hours Iran might launch a military operation against Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that his country will defend itself and act on the principle: "Whoever harms us or plans to harm us, we will harm them."
