US President Joe Biden believes that a possible Iranian attack on Israeli targets will come “sooner rather than later” and called on Tehran not to carry it out. The United States is increasing the number of troops in the Middle East to prepare for a possible Iranian attack.
Speaking at the National Action Network convention, Biden stressed that Washington is committed to defending Israel. USA Today, citing two unnamed officials, fears that the attack, a response to the bombing of an Iranian consulate in Syria, could happen “very soon and without warning.”
«We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel. Iran will not succeed.“the Democratic president stressed.
The White House had also commented on the matter on Friday, calling Iran’s threats “credible” and, according to US media, will therefore mobilise additional troops in the Middle East to prepare for a possible escalation of the conflict.
According to an anonymous source familiar with Iran’s plans cited by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Israel is also preparing for a possible attack by Iran that could occur as early as Friday or Saturday.
Iran has threatened Israel with retaliation for the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus last week that killed seven members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and destroyed the building next to the Tehran embassy, which was the residence of the Iranian ambassador.
