A recent direct assault by Iran on Israel has raised questions about how Israel will respond and what role the Biden administration might play in the situation. Iran launched over 300 missiles and drones at Israel, which Israel claims to have largely repelled with its advanced defense systems and support from regional allies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now under scrutiny for his potential response, with reports suggesting that the Biden administration has advised him to exercise restraint. The U.S. has expressed solidarity with Israel's right to self-defense but has also emphasized a desire to avoid escalating tensions into a broader regional conflict.
