ْUS, UN condemn Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel

The US, Canada, and the U.N. have condemned the Iranian air attack on Israel, with President Joe Biden reaffirming America’s “ironclad commitment” to the Jewish nation and vowing to convene a meeting of the G-7 leaders to develop a coordinated response to the brazen assault.

The Israeli military said on Sunday that Israel and its allies intercepted 99% of more than 300 Iranian drones and missiles.

Mr. Biden said: “We helped Israel take down nearly all” of them.

His comments came as American forces joined efforts to down drones and missiles launched by Tehran.

“Earlier today, Iran—and its proxies operating out of Yemen, Syria and Iraq—launched an unprecedented air attack against military facilities in Israel. I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms,” Biden said after his call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday.
