President Joe Biden says his administration is “fully supportive” of Israel after it thwarted an Iranian missile attack and that he’s in “active discussion” with aides about an appropriate response. Biden also praised the US and Israeli militaries for defeating the Iranian missile barrage. “Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully supportive of Israel,” Biden said Tuesday at the start of a meeting with White House officials focused on the administration’s response to Hurricane Helene.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said soon after the attack that it amounted to a “significant escalation by Iran.” Biden said the consequences Iran will face remain to be seen.
