Biden vows G7 response, ‘ironclad’ US support for Israel after Iran attacks (www.aljazeera.com)

US President Joe Biden has condemned Iranian attacks on military facilities in Israel, pledging a coordinated Group of Seven (G7) diplomatic response while highlighting the United States’s help in taking down “nearly all” of the attacking drones and missiles.

Biden, who cut short a trip to Delaware and returned to Washington, DC to meet advisers over the late Saturday night attack, said in a statement released by the White House that the US forces and facilities had not been hit.

The US president said he reiterated the “ironclad” support for Israel’s security in a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom he has had strained relations over Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza.

“Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” he said.

“And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people,” he said.

Stop bailing Israel out. They literally bombed an embassy. They do not need the G7 to help them.

"All Joe Biden had to do was stay the fuck out of the middle east for a few months and the election was his..."

The US has been tied to Israel since its founding.

No matter who (or what party) was in the white house, the US would be propping up Isreal after the Hamas attack.

Just like it has done for decades.

Aiding and abetting criminals.

We've heard this all before, U.S. is now agreeing to supply an endless chain of terrorist engagements in surrounding areas of the states involved. Get ready to hear about rocket seiges and mid city suicide bombings. This is so stupid, worst diplomacy ever.

What's crazy about this whole situation is Iran attacked Israel because Israel bombed Iran's embassy in Syria killing a general and 6 others... and governments are telling Iran not to overreact.

Like bruh, how would you react if your embassy was bombed in a 3rd country killing your general and 6 other nationals

And somehow the elected leader of our country is going against the will of the population by supporting israel and dragging us into another massive war.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

The word "massive" is an understatement

There's definitely something we ask don't know about the US and Israel. There's got to be some massive secret. Because there's no other good explanation.

Israel is the US's unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East. It's strategically priceless for US world domination.

Money and an influencial foothold in the Middle East. It's a secret because power and money are withheld from you and all of us.

Israel is basically where all of the NSA spyware gets developed.
