The risk of an Iranian attack, Biden in support of Israel

Joe Biden

President Joe Biden has pledged US support to Israel amid fears Tehran could retaliate for an attack that killed senior Iranians.

Biden warned that Iran is threatening to launch a "significant attack" after Israel struck the Iranian consulate in Syria 10 days ago.

"We will do everything we can to protect Israel's security," he said. 

Earlier on Wednesday, the Iranian leader said the Israeli attack on Damascus was tantamount to an attack on Iran itself.

"When they attacked our consulate area, it was like they attacked our territory," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised address.

It is not yet clear what form any retaliatory attack would take. For Iran to strike Israel directly would risk further escalation of the conflict, and analysts have said Iran lacks the military capability for a significant confrontation.

On Sunday, an Iranian official warned that Israel's embassies were "no longer secure," suggesting that a consulate building could be a possible target./ CNA
