When Joe Biden was asked on Thursday whether he would support Israel striking Iranian oil facilities, he told reporters: “We are discussing that.” But based on his current statement, he likely would not support such attacks.
According to MTI, Joe Biden stated that no American administration has provided as much aid to Israel as the one he led, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must remember that. He then added that he did not know whether the Israeli Prime Minister's goal was to influence the US presidential election.
Meanwhile, the number of Americans and their family members who left Lebanon on board planes contracted by the Washington government rose to 350. White House spokesman Matthew Miller had previously reported that the administration would continue to provide seats on airline planes departing from Lebanon as long as the situation remained stable. Security in the Middle Eastern country requires it, or as long as there is a need for assistance.
According to the MTI summary, the US military announced earlier that it had carried out more than a dozen air strikes on several points in Yemen in the areas controlled by the 20. According to the announcement, the attack launched by US Air Force aircraft and warships was directed against the weapons systems and military installations of the Houthis, including the airport in the coastal city of Hodeidah in the western part of Yemen, and in the area of the capital, Sana’a.
