US President Joe Biden warns of an imminent Iranian retaliatory attack on Israel, with the US on high alert and preparing for a potential assault involving drones and missiles.
The heightened tensions and potential Iranian attack on Israel pose a significant threat to regional stability and could lead to a broader conflagration in the Middle East. The US's commitment to defend Israel underscores the seriousness of the situation and the need for vigilance.
