On Friday, an assault was initiated against Israel, just a day following President Joe Biden’s cautionary message to Tehran. When asked about his stance on Iran’s threat to attack Israel in retaliation for a suspected Israeli strike on seven Iranian military personnel, including two generals in Syria, Biden simply stated, “Don’t.”
“We are devoted to the defense of Israel,” he added. “We will support Israel. We will defend — help defend Israel, and Iran will not succeed.”
Biden had initially intended to spend the weekend in Rehoboth Beach, however, he came back earlier than planned and was scheduled to convene with his national security team in the Situation Room. Speculations arose that he would deliver a national address from the Oval Office, but the White House later announced a lid at 5:13 p.m. ET, as reported by the White House press pool.
Former Trump official Cliff Sims stated: “Biden reversed all the Trump policies that made Iran weaker and poorer. Now they’re spending all the money Biden gave them attacking Israel, terrorizing the world and threatening to plunge us into WWIII.”

Trump’s former State Department press secretary added: “Reminder: “Biden allowed the UN sanctions on Iran’s drones and ballistic missiles to expire less than six months ago. The very same drones and missiles en route to Israel right now.”

Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?
Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.

CNN: Biden departed the beach "moments ago," just as Iran began its attacks on Israel.
