President Joe Biden is contemplating bolstering US defenses in the Middle East as the country braces for potential retaliation from Iran against Israel. Officials have warned that this retaliation could potentially target American forces in the region.
During a recent phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Biden assured that the US would stand by Israel's defense against threats. This commitment includes the possibility of deploying new defensive US military assets, although specific details of these deployments have not been disclosed.
