President Joe Biden affirmed the United States' commitment to defending Israel in the face of potential threats from Iran. Speaking from the White House, Biden stated, 'We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed.'
In response to Iran's plan to launch dozens of drones towards Israel, the US has positioned forces in Iraq and Syria that could potentially intercept these drones depending on their launch location. Additionally, US Navy forces in the Red Sea have a track record of intercepting long-range missiles launched from groups like the Houthis in Yemen towards Israel.
