Joe Biden ordered the US military to assist Israel with shooting down Iranian missiles
In Iran’s recent missile attack against Israel, the latter was not the only country that responded. Joe Biden announced that he directed the US military to help the Israeli military shoot these missiles down. Biden emphasized that the United States is fully supportive of Israel. Kamala Harris stated that she supported Biden’s orders, and she also condemned Iran’s attack against Israel.
From ABC News:
President Joe Biden said Tuesday he directed the U.S. military to help Israel shoot down Iranian missiles — an attack, Biden said, that appears to have been “defeated and ineffective.”
“This is testament to Israeli military capability and the U.S. military,” Biden said in his first on-camera remarks on the issue. “It’s also a testament to intensive planning between the United States and Israel to anticipate and defend against the brazen attack we expected.”
“Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel,” Biden added.
Vice President Kamala Harris, in her own remarks, said she “fully supported” Biden’s order to help shoot down the Iranian missiles and that her support for Israel was “unwavering.”
“I condemn this attack unequivocally,” Harris said. “I’m clear-eyed. Iran is a destabilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East, and today’s attack on Israel only further demonstrates that fact.”
Officials called Tuesday’s events a “significant escalation” from Iran in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last week.
Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles at various targets inside Israel, the Pentagon’s Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters. Two U.S. Navy destroyers located in the eastern Mediterranean — the USS Bulkeley and USS Cole — fired “approximately a dozen” missile interceptors at the incoming barrage, Ryder said.

Bullshit. Harris said no troops are in combat zones. Pics or it never happened.
I’d say something about a blind squirrel, but election day is coming and the narrative for the (D)emon-rats is under the outhouse.
Unfortunately, there are a ton of dem voters right there too.
He probably thought he was helping Iran shoot down incoming Indian missiles from Russia.
