Reuters quoted Biden as telling reporters: “We are committed to defending Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel, and Iran will not succeed.”
He indicated that he expects an Iranian attack “sooner rather than later” on Israel, adding that his message to Iran is “don’t do it.”
On Friday, the White House confirmed that Iran’s threats to Israel are “credible and real.”
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters: “We still consider Iran’s potential threat to be real and credible,” and the United States intends to “do everything possible to ensure that Israel is able to defend itself.”
American officials believe that a possible Iranian attack on Israel may occur within the “next few hours.”
According to what the American CBS News website reported on Friday, “Estimations in the United States indicate that an Iranian attack on Israel will occur today.”
Two American officials revealed to CBS News: “A major Iranian attack against Israel is expected on Friday… perhaps including more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles.”
The two officials expected that the attack would target “military targets” inside Israel.
“It will be difficult for the Israelis to repel an attack of this size,” they added, noting that the Iranians may ultimately choose to launch a “small attack” to avoid escalation.
