WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Friday that he expects Iran will strike Israel soon, and reiterated that the U.S. would support and defend Israel if such an attack occurred. At a White House event, when asked by reporters how imminent he thought an attack by Iran could be, Biden said that while he didn't want to discuss 'secure information,' his expectation was 'sooner than later.' Asked what his message to Iran was, Biden said, 'Don't.
” “We do believe that this still is a viable threat,” Kirby said. “We’re doing everything we can to make sure that Israel can defend itself.” Iranian officials, including the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have vowed to retaliate against Israel over the attack on its consulate in Damascus. In response, Israel has threatened to launch a direct strike on Iran if it comes under attack.
