Kamala Harris’ strong reaction to Iran after missile attacks on Israel; ‘Dangerous force in the Middle East’

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has condemned the missile attack on Israel by Iran, calling Tehran “a destabilizing, dangerous force within the Middle East.” “As of late, Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in a reckless attack. I condemn this attack unequivocally,” she said. She said her commitment to Israel is “unwavering,” and warns that Iran is more than a threat to Israel. “Iran is likewise a threat to American personnel within the region, American interests and innocent civilians across the region who suffer by the hands of Iran-based and -backed terrorist proxies,” she says.

“We're still assessing the impact but initial indications are that Israel, with our assistance, became ready to defeat this attack,” she says.

The vp said that she supports President Joe Biden’s decision to shoot down the missiles concentrated on Israel. “I am clear-eyed. Iran is a destabilising, dangerous force within the Middle East, and these days’s attack on Israel only as well demonstrates that fact. Earlier these days, I became within the Situation Room with President Biden and our national security team as we monitored the attack in real time, guaranteeing that the protection of US personnel within the region is paramount. I fully toughen President Biden’s order for the US militia to shoot down Iranian missiles concentrated on Israel, just as we did in April… I will always make certain Israel has the ability to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist militias. My commitment to Israel’s security is unwavering,” she said.

She as well noted that Iran poses a threat to American personnel and civilians within the region. “To be clear, Iran is not going to be very only a threat to Israel, but additionally to American personnel, interests, and innocent civilians across the region who suffer by the hands of Iran-based and Iran-backed terrorist proxies. We're going to never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend US forces and interests against Iran and its terrorist allies, and we can continue to work with our allies and partners to disrupt Iran’s aggressive behaviour and hold it to blame,” she said.

Harris also emphasised the US militia’s active toughen of Israel. “At my direction, the US militia actively supported the defence of Israel. We’re still assessing the impact, but based on what we all know now, the attack appears to have been repelled and ineffective. Which is a testament to Israel’s militia capabilities,” she said.

She also noted the continuing verbal exchange between US security personnel and Israeli officials.
