The White House has issued a warning about a 'very credible' threat of Iranian retaliatory strikes against Israel. The national security team, led by President Joe Biden, is closely monitoring the situation and receiving constant updates.
According to national security spokesperson John Kirby, US officials are in constant communication with Israeli counterparts to address the threat. Steps are being taken to ensure Israel's ability to defend itself in the event of an attack.
Gen. Michael Kurilla of US Central Command visited Israel to discuss the matter directly with Israel Defense Forces officials. President Biden is being briefed multiple times a day on the evolving situation and has emphasized the US commitment to Israel's self-defense.
The White House is taking the threat seriously and assessing its own posture in the region to prepare for any potential retaliatory attacks. The situation remains fluid, and efforts are ongoing to monitor and address the threat posed by Iran.
