"U.S. Officials Coordinate with Israel Amid Fears of Imminent Iranian Attack"

President Biden has reaffirmed the US commitment to defend Israel against potential Iranian attacks, amid rising concerns in Washington that Iran may launch a significant strike in retaliation for the bombing of an Iranian consular building in Damascus. Tensions have escalated with Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowing to retaliate against Israel, and Israel's foreign minister, Israel Katz, promising to respond if Iran attacks from its territory. The Biden administration is seeking to prevent escalation and maintain diplomatic efforts to deter further conflict in the region.
