Israel fends off drone and missile attacks

President Joe Biden has vowed to coordinate a ‘united diplomatic response’ to Iran with G7 leaders following a brazen attack on Israel. Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing the United States’ commitment to Israel’s security. Military forces under Biden’s direction helped Israel intercept incoming drones and missiles, showcasing the country’s ability to fend off threats.

Biden announced plans to convene with G7 leaders to strategize a diplomatic response to Iran’s aggression. He condemned the attack in the “strongest possible terms” and assured that the U.S. will remain vigilant against all threats. Meanwhile, the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, expressed concern over the escalating situation in the Middle East and urged all parties to exercise restraint to prevent further military confrontations.

In response to the attacks, the Iranian regime defended its actions as an exercise of its “inherent right of self-defense” following previous aggressions by Israel. The regime cited international law and vowed to protect its interests against any military aggression. However, concerns have been raised about potential fallout from Israel’s response, with U.S. officials cautioning against hasty actions that could escalate the conflict further.

As tensions rise, the United Nations Security Council is set to meet to address the situation, with Israel calling for condemnation of Iran’s actions. The international community is closely monitoring the developments in the region, with fears of a broader conflict looming if the situation is not de-escalated.
