Biden says US will respond to attacks 'in manner of our choosing' amid 'Iran threat'
US citizens have been injured following a rocket attack on an American air base in Iraq, sparking serious fears of World War 3.
The Al-Asad Airbase was targeted by missiles just days after the US deployed 12 warships and fighter jets to the Middle East following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Two Soviet-made Katyusha rockets reportedly "fell inside the base", with one landing in a nearby village.
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed on the situation, discussing "developments in the Middle East."
In a tweet, Biden stated: "We received updates on threats posed by Iran and its proxies, diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions, and preparations to support Israel should it be attacked again," adding that they are prepared to "We also discussed the steps we are taking to defend our forces and respond to any attack against our personnel in a manner and place of our choosing."
