Iranian threat to Israel ‘very credible,’ US says ahead of expected attack
WASHINGTON (AA) – Iran’s threat to carry out a retaliatory attack on Israel in reprisal for the bombing of its consulate in Damascus is “very credible,” the White House said Friday.
“We still deem the potential threat by Iran here to be real, to be viable, certainly credible, and we’re watching it as closely as we can,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters during a virtual briefing.
“Our focus is on having conversations with our Israeli counterparts, and making sure, not just conversations, but making sure that they have what they need, and that they’re able to defend themselves,” he added.
