US President Joe Biden has condemned Iranian attacks on military facilities in Israel, pledging a coordinated Group of Seven (G7) diplomatic response while highlighting the United States’s help in taking down “nearly all” of the attacking drones and missiles.
Biden, who cut short a trip to Delaware and returned to Washington, DC to meet advisers over the late Saturday night attack, said in a statement released by the White House that the US forces and facilities had not been hit.
The US president said he reiterated the “ironclad” support for Israel’s security in a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom he has had strained relations over Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza.
“Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” he said.
“And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people,” he said.

I'm not voting for Biden.
Fuck the lesser evil.
If this upsets any of you, get mad at the democrats who keep nominating these shit candidates.
Give me someone like Bernie or I will not vote democrat. I will not fall in line. If that means a Trump victory, then so be it.
You'll only have yourselves to blame just like when you nominated Hillary.
Tf you on about? Bernie was on PSA a few days ago trying to talk to wayward leftists asking them not throw out decades of progress and to do anything in their power to prevent a Trump win.
So?
Independent progressive leadership (the guy we'd like to be president) is saying staying home, or voting third party this time is a terrible shortsighted move that will usher in more global suffering?
It all comes down to power. Progressives will have more room to work with if Biden is president. Think of the down ballot races. Voting D is complacency and complicity if the grand sum of your political action only takes place on a Tuesday in November.
Its likely Bernie would be doing the same as biden here. His foreign policy is basically party line
