According to the Times of Israel, US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and their national security experts met earlier this morning to explain what was happening at the time of Iran’s immediate attack on Israel.

Barrons information that” President Joe Biden ordered the US defense to “assistance Israel’s protection” and shot down Egyptian weapons targeting Israel, the White House said.
” A senior White House official]said ]  , that Iran had mouth’ serious effects’ if it carried out the attack, which the U. S. raised the alarm over earlier Tuesday, “adds Middle East Check.
Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, was killed over the weekend, so Iran’s assault on Israel comes as a result. Israel has been on top since the Hamas attack on October 7 of last year, and conflicts between Israel and its Syrian and Egyptian allies have been rising in recent weeks.
This significant turn of events is significant. Israel receiving assistance from the United States while it is under attack is one thing, but carrying out an Iranian missile launch is entirely another.  ,
On the other hand, this choice aligns with the hazy direction the Biden-Harris leadership is adopting in regards to Iran and Israel. While both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have signaled that Israel has been too restrictive in defending itself, the White House has continued to pursue a nuclear offer similar to the one the Obama administration made with Iran.

According to The Associated Press, Iraqi armies with Iran’s support are also reportedly caution of reprisal:
Iranian-backed Iraqi militias claim that if the United States engages in “any angry action” against Iran, American interests in the region will be in jeopardize.
The organization, which claims to be the Coordination Committee for the Iraqi Resistance, issued a warning on Tuesday that Israel should avoid firing missiles at Israel because it was aware of the group’s claim that all American bases and passions in Iraq and the area will be our targets.
Iran-backed armies in Iraq often fire drones at foundations that house American forces in Iraq and Syria, claiming they are retaliating against Israel’s support of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
This is a developing history, and we’ll have more knowledge as it becomes available.
