President Joe Biden said Tuesday that the United States was "fully supportive" of Israel after Iran's ballistic missile attacks, describing Tehran's assault as "defeated and ineffective."
Biden said he would now discuss with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu how to respond to Iran, but that it remained to be seen what shape that response would take.
"The attack appears to have been ="https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/asia/article/2001503816/iran-threatens-crushing-attacks-if-israel-responds-to-missiles">defeated and ineffective<, and this is a testament to Israeli military capability and the US military," Biden told reporters at the White House.
"Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel."
