US President Joe Biden stressed this Saturday after meeting with his National Security team that the United States’ commitment to Israel against Iran is “iron.”
The president accompanied his message in among others.
Both Biden and Blinken, who appear from the front, are seen with a serious countenance, wearing a suit but without a tie.
The National Security team, meeting in an emergency this Saturday afternoon, also included the director of the CIA, Bill Burns; to the White House National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Brown, among others, as previously reported by the White House.
Biden had planned to spend the weekend at his beach residence in Delaware, but returned unexpectedly just before the Iranian attack on Israel was confirmed.
This offensive occurs in retaliation to Israel for the attack against the Iranian consulate in Damascus that killed seven members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, in addition to destroying the building attached to the Tehran embassy, which was the residence of the Iranian ambassador.
