President Joe Biden leads the G7 advanced democracies in condemning Iran's failed aerial attack on Israel and aims to prevent further escalation in the region. The United States provided assistance to Israel in shooting down the drones and missiles launched by Iran, marking the first direct military assault by Iran on Israel. Israeli authorities reported minimal damage as 99% of the incoming weapons were successfully intercepted.

President Joe Biden convened the Group of Seven advanced democracies on Sunday to coordinate a rebuke to Iran for its unprecedented and largely unsuccessful aerial attack on Israel and to prevent a wider regional escalation .

"At my direction, to support the defense of Israel, the U.S. military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region over the course of the past week," Biden said in a statement late Saturday."Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our servicemembers, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles.

"I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks -– sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel," Biden said in his statement. The effort to encourage Israel to show restraint mirrored ongoing American efforts to curtail Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, which is now in its seventh month, and to do more to protect civilian lives in the territory.
