President Biden issued a stark warning on Wednesday, cautioning that the US could be drawn into a broader conflict in the Middle East if Iran were to successfully target Israel. This comes in the wake of Iran’s unprecedented direct attack on Israel, prompting Biden to call for urgent legislative action in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal.
Biden urged American lawmakers to swiftly pass legislation for military aid to both Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the importance of supporting allies during times of heightened tensions. He underscored the need for urgent national-security measures for Ukraine and Israel, along with humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza.
The call for action comes amidst ongoing disputes between Republicans and Democrats over foreign military aid. While some Republicans advocate for funds to address border security concerns, some Democrats have raised questions about unconditional aid to Israel.

Addressing the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, Biden emphasized the potential for a wider regional war if Iran’s aggression against Israel were to escalate further. He deemed it “unthinkable” for the US to stand idly by if Israel’s defenses were compromised and Iran’s intentions to cause harm were realized.
The recent Iranian attacks on Israel were in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which resulted in the deaths of senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps officials.
Biden reiterated the importance of American assistance to both Ukraine and Israel in maintaining their sovereignty and defending against external threats, emphasizing their dependence on US support, including weaponry, to safeguard their interests.
