President Biden's administration has informed Israel that it may not need to retaliate against Iran following the successful interception of approximately 300 missiles and drones launched by Tehran on Saturday. The interceptions were deemed a significant victory for Israel and a strong message to Iran and other regional adversaries.
President Biden personally spoke with Israeli Prime Minister shortly after the attack, reaffirming the full support of the U.S. towards Israel. The administration is set to hold a meeting with G7 leaders to discuss the situation.
In his statement, President Biden praised Israel's defense capabilities, highlighting their ability to thwart unprecedented attacks and signaling to their enemies that Israel's security remains paramount. He also mentioned that U.S. forces played a role in intercepting the majority of Iran's projectiles.
Despite the absence of attacks on U.S. forces or facilities, President Biden emphasized the need for continued vigilance against all threats and assured that necessary actions would be taken to safeguard the people.
