WASHINGTON April 17. 2024 (Saba) - US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that the United States will not stand idly by if Iran escalates its attack on Israel widely, and Washington may be dragged into confrontation.

The Wall Street Journal quoted Biden as saying: "The Zionist army has the technology to defend. Iran wants to destroy Israel and wipe out the only Jewish state in the world and we will not allow that."

"If Iran significantly escalates its attack on Israel, the United States could be dragged into it — Israel is our strongest partner in the region, and we will not stand idly by if it is attacked and its defenses weakened."

Iran said its armed forces were ready to repel any Zionist attack, and the air force said it was on standby.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi also warned that the "smallest attack" from Israel would lead to a "huge and harsh" reaction as the region prepares for a Zionist counterattack in response to an attack by Iran last Saturday.
