US President Joe Biden will return to Washington on Saturday afternoon to consult with his national security team, a day after saying he expects an Iranian attack on Israel “sooner rather than later”.
Biden brought forward his weekend return to Delaware, the White House reported Saturday, to analyze events in the Middle East.
Tehran has vowed to retaliate for Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy compound last week in Damascus, which killed a senior commander of the Quds Force of Iran's Overseas Revolutionary Guard Corps and six other officers.
On Friday, Biden warned Iran against retaliating, although he predicted an attack could be imminent. “We are dedicated to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” she said.
