World Reacts to Iran's Aggression

US President Joe Biden backed Israel following Iran's massive missile attack. He said, "The attack appears to have been defeated, a testament to the strength of the Israeli military and our close cooperation. Make no mistake, the US stands fully with Israel."

Expressing full support for Biden's order to shoot down Iranian missiles targeting Israel, US Presidential candidate, VP Kamala Harris said, "I condemn this attack unequivocally. Iran is a destabilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East. Today's attack on Israel only further demonstrates that fact."

She further added, "My commitment to Israel’s security is unwavering. Iran is a threat not only to Israel but also to American personnel and interests in the region."

Meanwhile, reacting to Iran's latest episode of aggression, Australian Prime Minister Antony Albanese said, "We condemn Iran's actions. The defense of Israel, supported by the United States, appears to have prevented any civilian casualties at this stage. There has already been too much loss of life in this region."

He further urged for a de-escalation, reaffirming Israel’s right to defend itself.
