Democratic presidential candidate and US Vice President Kamala Harris labeled Iran as a “dangerous” and “destabilizing” power in the Middle East on Tuesday while highlighting Washington’s unwavering determination to Israel’s safety. Her comment come just days before Donald Trump’s election as the candidate for president of the United States on November 5.
The statement came as a serious uptick in the region, with Iran firing nuclear missiles at Israel in retribution for Lebanon’s growing military operations. The Israeli government and US leaders pledged a robust response, though no injuries were reported from the assault, which Washington termed “ineffective”.
” I’m clear-eyed that Iran is a disruptive, dangerous power in the Middle East”, Harris said during a press briefing. ” I will always make sure that Israel has the ability to stand up for itself against Iran and the criminal militias that Iran supports.”
Harris endorsed President Joe Biden’s law that would allow the US government to aid in countering the missile threat with all of her support. ” First indications are that Israel, with our help, was able to fight this attack”, she added, reiterating Washington’s handle to protect its allies in the region.
Iran’s missile storm, totaling at least 180 weapons, marks the latest advancement in the decades-long fight between Israel and Iran. The animosity has gradually gotten worse, putting a risk of bringing the Middle East into a wider conflict.
Israel has increased its military presence in Lebanon, focusing on Hezbollah extremists supported by Tehran, in addition to its operations in Gaza. More than a million people have been displaced and hundreds have been killed by the plan, according to local reports.
A disastrous attack carried out by Israeli Hamas militants on October 7 that sparked this local conflict, which led to Israel’s continuing military offensive. Tens of thousands of people have died as a result of the conflict in Gaza, with numerous movement and significant humanitarian problems taking place all over the place. Israel has faced growing international investigation, including complaints of murder, which it strongly denies.
