United States Reaffirms "Ironclad" Support for Israel's Security Against Iran Threats

US President Joe Biden has repeatedly pledged "ironclad" support for Israel amid heightened tensions with Iran. This promise comes in response to threats from Iran and its allies, following the killing of 13 people last week and an Israeli attack on an Iranian consulate in Damascus that resulted in the death of seven senior military officials, including two generals from Iran's Revolutionary Guards. The US believes an Iranian retaliation is imminent, and has urged regional foreign ministers to put pressure on Iran to show restraint.
