    Biden Orders Military to Intercept Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel

    Published on

    By Aaior K. Comfort

    President Joe Biden has directed the U.S. military to aid in Israel’s defense by shooting down Iranian missiles aimed at the country, according to a White House statement. This directive comes amid escalating tensions following an Iranian missile attack on Israel, which has been confirmed by both Israeli military sources and Iranian state media.

    The missile assault occurred as a response to recent Israeli military actions, including strikes in Lebanon that resulted in the deaths of prominent Iranian-backed leaders, such as Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh. Air raid sirens were activated across Israel, prompting the closure of its airspace and the diversion of flights.

    As missile threats grew, neighboring countries, including Iraq and Jordan, also shut down their airspaces. U.S. officials are closely monitoring the situation, while world leaders urge for de-escalation amidst ongoing airstrikes in the region. The conflict has led to significant humanitarian concerns, with thousands displaced and numerous casualties reported.
