During a press conference on Monday, President Biden was asked about Iran's recent attacks against Israel. The question stemmed from Biden's previous warning to Iran, where he simply said, 'Don't,' in response to potential aggression. This warning was criticized by Republicans, who pointed out that Iran proceeded with the attacks despite Biden's message.
In the aftermath of the airstrikes, the White House has shown support for Israel. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin both reiterated the United States' commitment to Israel's security in separate conversations with their Israeli counterparts.
Despite the unanswered question at the press conference, the Biden administration's actions have demonstrated solidarity with Israel in the face of threats from Iran and its allies.
