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.
US Empire gotta Empire, even though Israel struck first.
Post on lemmy.world says hes not going to interfere with reprisals
Stop bailing Israel out. They literally bombed an embassy. They do not need the G7 to help them.
“All Joe Biden had to do was stay the fuck out of the middle east for a few months and the election was his…”
I hope this is true but I’m not confident voters care about the middle east.
You hope this is the point that costs Biden the election? So we can have another Trump presidency?
Maybe Biden should stop funding a Genocide if he doesn’t want Ttump to win. Stop blaming voters and blame Biden.
The US has been tied to Israel since its founding.
No matter who (or what party) was in the white house, the US would be propping up Isreal after the Hamas attack.
Just like it has done for decades.
Wow so glad this is the lesser evil I’ll have to vote for. Fuck this country man.
Plenty of 3rd party candidates to vote for. No one is forcing you to vote for Biden but every vote for Biden is telling him that it’s OK to keep doing what he’s doing. A vote for Biden is a vote for Genocide.
Voting for a 3rd party is a vote for Trump. If you think Trump is less genocidal I have some magic beans to sell you.
No, a vote for 3rd party is quite literally a vote for 3rd party. Stop shaming people because they don’t want to vote for your candidate. If Biden wants people to vote for him then he needs to earn it. Dems can’t just do nothing for anyone and fund a genocide and expect to win on being the lesser evil.
