United States President Joe Biden has directed U.S. forces to aid Israel’s defence against Iran, which launched missile attacks against the Jewish state.

U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett disclosed this in a statement issued by the White House on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.

Savett quoted Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as saying that they “are monitoring the Iranian attack against Israel from the White House Situation Room and receiving regular updates from their national security team.”
