WASHINGTON, DC – US President Joe Biden promised “ironclad” support for Israel against attacks by Iran on Saturday, with American forces shooting down Iranian drones amid a spiraling crisis in the Middle East.
He posted a picture of the meeting in the wood-paneled White House Situation Room with officials including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CIA Director Bill Burns. “US forces in the region continue to shoot down Iranian-launched drones targeting Israel,” a US defense official said.
He had been due to stay in the coastal town where he owns a house until Sunday, but cut the trip short for consultations on the Middle East situation, the White House said. Former US president Donald Trump, Biden’s rival in November’s election, said the Democratic incumbent was showing “weakness.”
