According to CNN, US President Joe Biden and his national security team are reportedly trying to escalate the regional conflict in Israel by urging their allies to take more extensive military actions against Iran. This news comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US Defense Secretary Benyamin Gantz on Saturday, during which Biden allegedly instructed Gantz to respond strongly to Iran’s actions.

“Biden informed Netanyahu that he wants Saturday’s events to be a success, as Iran’s aggression has thus far been unsuccessful and has only showcased Israel’s superior military capabilities,” stated the Biden administration.
