Israel has vowed to respond in kind to such a direct strike, raising the prospect of a regional war, which US officials now believe is more likely than at any point since the beginning of the Gaza conflict on 7 October.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s pledge of support to Israel at the White House, intended as a deterrent, came a few hours after Iran\u2019s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, repeated a threat to strike back against Israel over the Damascus bombing that killed 12 people, including Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior figure in Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and six other guard members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/apr\/10\/biden-israel-iran-strike\">The Guardian<\/a><br \/>\nWhen Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield voted to allow passage of a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Israel cancelled an impending visit from Netanyahu&#8217;s advisors in protest. Now POTATUS is swearing his undying devotion to Israel if Iran attacks. Joe, Iran is already attacking Israel, and will likely do so here as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ironclad, Jack!
