US not ruling out launching joint response against Iran if it attacks Israel — report

The United States will assist in defending Israel if its attacked by Iran or one of its proxies, Al Jazeera reports, citing an American official who says President Joe Biden’s earlier pledge that US support for Israeli security is “ironclad” didn’t come from left field.

The official says that if the attack involves missiles and drones, American forces could help in downing them, and also says the US hasn’t ruled out launching a joint response with Israel if the Jewish state is attacked by Iran or its proxies.
