US President Joe Biden ordered its military to aid Israel in shooting down Iranian missiles, the White House said. A short while ago, Iran said it fired dozens of missiles into Israel as retaliation for killing of Hezbollah leader and Hamas official. NSC spokesperson Sean Savett said on X (formerly Twitter) that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are closely monitoring the attack from the White House situation room, receiving regular updates.


The White House announced that President Biden has ordered the US military to support Israel's defense against Iranian strikes and intercept missiles aimed at Israel. Additionally, the White House noted that a call Joe Biden had planned with rabbis in advance of the Jewish high holidays has been rescheduled for a later date.
