"Biden's National Security Team Meets as Iran Launches Drone Attack on Israel"

President Biden cut short his weekend to meet with his national security team and monitor the escalating tensions in the Middle East as Iran launched an attack against Israel. The U.S. has pledged support for Israel against threats from Iran, with the Pentagon affirming full U.S. support for Israel's defense. Biden emphasized the U.S.'s commitment to defending Israel and warned Iran against further escalation, while also expressing concern about the potential for a wider regional conflict. The situation remains tense as Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard seized an Israeli-affiliated container ship near the Strait of Hormuz, prompting strong condemnation from the U.S.
