Biden Orders US Military to Intercept Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel Amid Escalating Tensions

US President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to aid Israel's defense against Iranian missile attacks. The White House has confirmed that Biden has instructed the US military to shoot down Iranian missiles. This decision comes after Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel on October 1, with reports suggesting between 150 and 200 missiles were fired. The attack was described as Iran's second on Israel, following a missile and drone attack in April. Biden has reaffirmed US support for Israel and stated that the attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective.
