In a bold move to safeguard Israel’s security, President Joe Biden has directed the US military to provide critical support against Iranian missile attacks. This decisive action comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
The White House confirmed that Biden instructed the US military to “defend Israel’s sovereignty” and intercept Iranian missiles threatening the country. Vice President Kamala Harris is closely monitoring the situation alongside Biden from the White House Situation Room.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan described Iran’s actions as a “dangerous escalation” that demands swift response. The US Navy has joined forces with Israel’s Air Defense units to safeguard strategic assets and prevent potential damage.

This isn’t the first instance of US intervention. In April, Western allies rallied to defend Israel against a combined Iranian missile and drone attack, launched in retaliation for Israel’s strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

The conflict’s human toll is a pressing concern. “We’re deeply worried about the potential consequences for civilians,” said a senior US official. “Our priority remains de-escalation and protecting innocent lives.”
As tensions simmer, the global community calls for calm and constructive dialogue. Will diplomacy prevail, or will the conflict continue to escalate?
