The U.S. is committed to upholding the Jewish state’s security, President Joe Biden reiterated on Saturday.
“Iran has begun an airborne attack against Israel. President Biden is being regularly updated on the situation by his national security team and will meet with them this afternoon,” read a statement from the White House.
“His team is in constant communication with Israeli officials as well as other partners and allies. This attack is likely to unfold over a number of hours. President Biden has been clear: Our support for Israel’s security is ironclad. The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran,” the statement continued.
Iran dispatched dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles from its territory towards Israel on Saturday night, in a much-anticipated response to the April 1 killing of several IRGC officers in Syria.
The drones were expected to take several hours to reach their targets in the Jewish state.
