U.S. National Security Adviser: “No Israeli deaths or military casualties.”
“US Navy destroyer launches interceptor missile at sea”
“We plan to discuss response measures with Israel and Iran”
On the 1st (local time), when Iran launched hundreds of missile attacks against Israel, the United States announced that the attack had failed and that it would discuss countermeasures with Israel.
U.S. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said at the White House regular briefing on this day, “At this point, I know of no deaths in Israel. “I don’t know of any damage to Israeli aircraft or strategic military assets,” he said.
He explained, “Based on the information currently available, it appears that this attack failed and was ineffective.”
The United States believes that Iran fired about 200 missiles toward Israel that day.
Israeli authorities announced that there were no casualties. However, the White House said that there was a report that a Palestinian had died in the West Bank and that it was being confirmed.
On this day, President Joe Biden ordered the U.S. military to help Israel defend against missiles, and watched the proceedings directly from the White House Situation Room with Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.
“The U.S. military worked closely with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to help Israel defend against this attack,” Sullivan said. “A U.S. Navy destroyer joined Israeli air defense units and launched an interceptor missile to shoot down the incoming missile.” “He explained.
The United States plans to discuss future response with Israel this afternoon.
The White House said this morning that an Iranian attack appears imminent and warned that there would be serious consequences if an attack were carried out. Israel also mentioned the cost after the attack and predicted retaliatory measures.
However, the United States is expected to insist on other measures rather than active retaliatory attacks, as its position is to prevent an escalation of war.
“We will discuss the next steps with Israel regarding how to respond and deal with what Iran has just done,” said Sullivan, adding, “We will continue to monitor additional threats and attacks from Iran and its proxies.”
He said, “This attack was a major act of escalating tensions by Iran,” but added, “It is also very meaningful that we were able to cooperate with Israel and create a situation in which no one died in Israel.”
He also said, “We have made it clear that there will be severe consequences for this attack, and we will cooperate with Israel to achieve this.”
