Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated, with Iranian stealth drones reportedly monitoring American warships in the Persian Gulf. U.S. President Joe Biden has issued a stern warning to Iran, advising against any attacks on Israel. This warning echoes Biden's previous remarks made shortly before an Iranian missile attack on Israel in April 2024. The situation reflects the ongoing volatility in the Middle East, as the U.S. seeks to protect its ally, Israel, amid fears of retaliation from Iran.
