US President Joe Biden held a 30-minute phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussing Israel's response to Iran's recent missile attack, which fired 181 ballistic missiles at Israel. The call also included US Vice-President Kamala Harris. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Israel's retaliatory attack would be "lethal, precise and surprising", with the goal of catching Iran off guard. Iran has vowed to respond to any further strike by Israel.
