Yesterday, John Kirby, the White House national security spokesman addressed the media informing them that Iran could initiate a military strike against Israel as early as this week.
This attack could come in response to the recent killings of significant Hamas and Hezbollah leaders like Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr and Ismail Haniyeh.
According to Kirby, America plans to increase its military presence in the area and announced that President Bident has been in discussion with some European allies like Italy, France, and the UK about how they will send their support over to Israel.
Kirby went on to say, “We share the same concerns and expectations that our Israeli counterparts have with respect to potential timing … could be this week. We’re continuing to watch it very, very closely, and it is difficult to ascertain at this particular time if there is an attack by Iran and or its proxies, what that could look like, but we have to be prepared for what could be a significant set of attacks….We obviously don’t want to see Israel have to defend itself against another onslaught, like they did in April. But, if that’s what comes at them, we will continue to help them defend themselves”.
In a separate announcement, the Pentagon proclaimed that they would be sending a guided missile submarine into the Middle East in case of a possible attack further bolstering the US’s defense of Israel in a strike that could happen any day now.
