Biden vows G7 response, ‘ironclad’ US support for Israel after Iran attacks
US president reiterates support for Israel in call with Netanyahu amid reports that he is also opposed to counterattack.
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.
You're viewing part of a thread.
A brave soul but not the only person that will suffer.
I'm trans in a red state. If Trump wins I might die.
I'm still not voting for Biden.
Not like it fucking matters, if my state passes a "kill all the trans people" law Biden wouldn't stop them.
So you're arguing that both sides are the same? You could argue that he may not stop states from archaic legislation but he's not going to help them. Every one of the supreme justices that have refused to conserve your rights has been designed in their position by the right. I say live to fight another day. We haven't come far enough but it's still far from how things were 50yrs ago. Ever heard the saying don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good? Well, don't let the epically flawed be the enemy of the tyrant.
No. I'm arguing that both sides are bad in different ways.
I voted for Biden in 2020 and Democrats in 2022 because I believed they were the lesser of two evils.
Then the genocide in Gaza accelerated and I'm realizing there are no lesser evils in this country. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good? My dude, America is the enemy of the good! And as those protesters in Michigan said, Death to America
