The White House has confirmed that President Biden and Vice President Harris are closely monitoring the Iranian attack against Israel from the White House Situation Room. They are receiving regular updates from their national security team to stay informed about the situation.
In response to the Iranian attacks on Israel, President Biden has directed the U.S. military to assist in Israel's defense efforts. The White House stated that the U.S. military has been instructed to shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel to help protect the country from further harm.
The Iranian attacks are believed to be in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders. Iran has been launching barrages of missiles towards Israel, escalating tensions in the region.
As a result of the ongoing attacks, Israel and Jordan have taken precautionary measures by closing their airspace. This decision was made to ensure the safety of their airspace and citizens as the situation continues to unfold.
