Earlier today, Iran – and its proxies operating in Yemen, Syria and Iraq – launched an unprecedented air attack on military installations in Israel. I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms.
Under my instructions, to support Israel’s defense, the U.S. military has deployed ballistic missile defense aircraft and destroyers to the region over the past week. Through these deployments and the extraordinary skills of our military, we have helped Israel destroy virtually all incoming drones and missiles.
I just spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America’s unwavering commitment to Israel’s security. I told him that Israel had demonstrated a remarkable ability to defend itself and defeat even unprecedented attacks – sending a clear message to its enemies that they could not effectively threaten Israel’s security.
Tomorrow, I will bring together my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack. My team will collaborate with counterparts across the region. And we will remain in close contact with Israeli leaders. And while we have not seen attacks against our forces or installations today, we will remain vigilant against all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to protect our people.
