President Joe Biden addressed the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel, stating that the attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective. Biden emphasized that the United States is fully supportive of Israel and highlighted the role of both Israeli and U.S. military capabilities in countering the attack. The U.S. military actively supported Israel's defense, and coordination between the two nations is ongoing. The attack involved nearly 200 ballistic missiles. Former President Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration's approach to Iran, claiming that it has weakened sanctions and unfrozen billions of dollars in Iranian assets, thereby strengthening Iran. Biden and Vice President Harris were seen in the situation room discussing the imminent attack, and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan echoed Biden's assessment of the attack.
