US President Joe Biden met his senior national security team on Monday as concerns of a possible Iranian retaliatory attack on Israel grew.

Mr Biden said he had been briefed on preparations to support Israel should it be attacked, while Secretary of State Antony Blinken said officials were working "around the clock" to prevent an escalation.

Tensions have risen over the last week following the assassination of Hamas' political leader Ismail Haniyeh, for which Iran has blamed Israel and vowed “severe” retaliation. Israel has not claimed responsibility for the assassination.

Numerous countries, including the US and UK, have also told their citizens to leave Lebanon, from where it is feared Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia and political movement, could play a role in any response.

During Monday's briefing, Mr Biden was told the timing and nature of an Iranian attack remained unclear, according to US news site Axios. A day earlier, Mr Blinken reportedly told his G7 counterparts that Iran and Hezbollah could attack Israel within 24 to 48 hours.

In a statement released after the briefing, Mr Biden said: "We received updates on threats posed by Iran and its proxies, diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions, and preparations to support Israel should it be attacked again.

He added that steps were being taken to respond to attacks on US forces "in a manner and place of our choosing". On Monday, several US personnel were injured in a suspected rocket attack on a US military base in Iraq.

Speaking to reporters earlier in the day, Mr Blinken said officials were "engaged in intense diplomacy pretty much around the clock with a very simple message: All parties must refrain from escalation".

"Escalation is not in anyone's interests. It will only lead to more conflict, more violence, more insecurity," he said.
He added that a ceasefire would "unlock possibilities for more enduring calm not only in Gaza itself, but in other areas where the conflict can spread".

"It is urgent that all parties make the right choices in the hours and days ahead," he said.
Earlier in the day, Mr Biden spoke to King Abdullah II of Jordan about "efforts to de-escalate regional tensions, including through an immediate ceasefire and hostage release deal", a statement from the White House said.

A joint statement from the G7 also expressed "deep concern at the heightened level of tension in the Middle East which threatens to ignite a broader conflict in the region".
"No country or nation stands to gain from a further escalation in the Middle East," it said.

Something big is about to happen in the middle east, I can feel it

Iran's still making unnecessary noise in the media? Too chicken to launch an attack, they're counting on Russia's outdated air defences to save their skin.

Let me fill you in on what the US is up to. You see, they've got different leaders with different approaches. Biden's a bit of a softie, he'll warn you and wait for you to make a move. But if it were another US president, Iran wouldn't even think about attacking Israel, the US would have taken them out before they could even blink!

What the US is doing is giving Iran a gentle warning: don't get too big for your boots or Israel will come knocking, and the US will back them up. Where do you think that'll leave Iran? Even Russia won't be able to bail them out then! Instead of getting their act together, Iran's trying to act tough, but that'll only get them obliterated.

Russia wouldn't dare take on NATO or a US ally. everyone's scared in their boots at the thought of the US! They're(US) just holding back to avoid looking like bullies.
Don't underestimate the US, they can take down any country without breaking a sweat. It's called being kind and giving you a chance to behave. But if you don't, those F22s and F35s will turn your country into a smoldering ruin. No deity will save you then.

Iran says they are going to attack Israel.. Hezbollah's been firing rockets at Israel.
When Israel inevitably gives them a good retaliation, I do hope the usual suspects don't start whinging about civilian casualties.

You've had ample warning, so don't come crying to the media. And if you think some higher power is going to save you from Israel's wrath, well you are mistaken.

Lol, everyone knows USA is a superpower country, but don't underestimate Iran, Iran is a regional power in the middle east.

You need to do a little research about Iran, check global firepower, Iran is ranked before israel in military power, yes israel has nuclear weapons, Iran too has a lot of conventional military power that will decimate israel, no air defense system can intercept nonstop hundreds of missiles and drones from different directions, the air defense systems will be overwhelmed


both countries can eliminate each other, don't underrate Iran because of your love for israel, let us preach peace instead


Don't also forget that Iran is close to developing its nuclear weapons, Iran can build a nuclear bomb within two weeks according to international atomic energy

Any war with Iran will affect global economy as well because Iran is a major oil producing country

Oh, spare me the theatrics. You're a global power, allegedly, but your generals keep getting picked off like sitting ducks, both inside and outside of Iran.

Meanwhile, how many Israeli generals have been taken out by Iranian missiles? I'm still waiting for an answer, but I suppose it's easier to just make a lot of noise and pretend to be a big shot. This Iranian noise is getting tiresome, if you ask me.

The fact that a superpower country like America is worried about Iran should tell you something, they've already sent aircraft carriers and fighter jets because they know Iran better than you.


Hezbollah alone is rumored to posses between 150,000-200,000 of rockets, drones and ballistic missiles of different sizes and range

You think israel will survive such massive attack, wake up man


I don't want anybody from both sides to die, it's not necessary

It's called backing an ally. Meanwhile, Hezbollah's been firing off their popguns, and Israel's Iron Dome has been batting them away like pesky mosquitoes. And you think that's comparable to actual military firepower?

We're dealing with the big boys here, not Hezbollah's playground nonsense. And as for Iran's response, please tell them to hurry up, we're all dying to see what they've got. I'm sure it'll be a thrilling display of rubbish. Lol

Hezbollah attacks so far has been limited, they've been using rockets instead of drones and ballistic missiles to avoid escalation

You are a warmonger

I'm a warmonger? That's rich coming from someone who's essentially a terrorist supporter!

Do come by Israel, and observe how those who pal around and support the likes of Hamas end up.
I'm sure you'll find it a thoroughly enlightening experience or a rather abrupt one, depending on your affinity for poor life choices.

Keep wishing.
Israel will decimate iran

Iran loses key people at every attack

Now they fear who is next.

Anyone is next so fsr you be top brass.

With the way things are going on in the whole world now, are you sure there will not be another lockdown

Weak Biden

Why America dey treat Israel like pikin wey dem still dey breastfeed? Can Israel do without America at all?

Iran d next Sahara Desert loading

Iran get lucky say no b Trump dey seat

Fu*k them all, we are on hunger war here in Nigeria and you are tell us about Biden, Iran and Israel.

It is well.

Lol

Iran can do nothing to Israel.

Russia backing Iran have already warned Iran to be very careful with their retaliation.

Putin told Iranian leader directly to retaliate moderately in a way that won't harm any Israeli, that Iran should focus on Israeli defense structures to avoid escalation.


Putin knows that Iran sending any missile into Israel that kills any Israeli will definitely cost Iran a lot but naive people are busy telling Iran go go

Iran doesn't have a single ball to confront US.

Iran to US is like Wilddog vs Lion.

Everyone knows the outcome of the fight already.

Check the next few days, Iran would shout, shout, shout and chicken out without taking just one significant action.

NB, if Iran is really strong security wise, Mossad wouldnt have entered their backyard and killed the biggest warlord in Palestine.
