In a response to Israel’s recent strikes on Iran military targets, the White House has expressed support, stating that these actions are a legitimate “exercise of self-defense” following Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israel earlier this month. Sean Savett, spokesperson for the National Security Council, emphasized that these strikes were targeted and focused on military sites within Iran.

The United States, while informed beforehand, confirmed that there was no direct American involvement in the strikes. A US defense official, speaking anonymously, refrained from specifying when or what details were shared by Israel in advance.

Both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been briefed on the situation and will receive continuous updates, according to statements from the White House. The US government has reiterated its position of standing with Israel while also aiming to contain further escalation in the region.
