Iran,Joe Biden

Senior official on the call between Biden and Netanyahu following Iranian missiles being launched towards Israel by Iran

and his closest intelligence and military aides in the secure confines of the Situation Room inside the west wing of the White House, watching in real time as more than 300 munitions, including more than 100 ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, sped towards

At 9 pm the President spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu in his war room. He reaffirmed America’s unwavering support for Israel’s defence adding America’s support of Israel was “ironclad”. Another meeting was convened in the situation room Sunday morning and the President spoke to G7 leaders about how the group might respond.

As tense and hectic as the last few hours have been, the President also found time to call Lt. Colonel Curtis 'Voodoo' Culver, commander of 494th Fighter Squadron based in the UK, at Lakenheath and Lt Col Kevin W. Murphy the commander of the 335th fighter Squadron based in North Carolina. The hawks in both Tel Aviv and Washington will see this as an opportunity to finally disable Iran’s nuclear programme and potentially other military sites. But that will risk all out war between the two countries, potentially dragging America into the conflict.I think we are a long way from that doomsday scenario, but these next few days will be critical.
