With Middle East on a knife-edge as Tehran 'closes airspace for military drills'
US president Joe Biden on Wednesday vowed that American support for Israel is 'ironclad', amid fears the Middle Eastern nation will soon be attacked by Iran.
'As I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad. Let me say it again: ironclad. We're going to do all we can to protect Israel security,' Biden said at a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Biden's top diplomat, Anthony Blinken, affirmed his words and told Israel's defence minister Yoav Gallant on a phone call that the US would stand behind Israel if Iran decides to attack.
