🇮🇷 Biden is confident that Iran will retaliate against Israel - CNN

U.S officials said they are preparing for a possible retaliatory strike by Iran after the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.

They are working with Israel on a defense strategy to ward off an attack with changes in U.S military posture in the region.

The Pentagon said that “should Iran, its partners, or its proxies use this moment to target American personnel or interests in the region, the United States will take every necessary measure to defend our people.”
