White House Kirby says US would defend Israel if Iran attacked

The United States remains committed to defending Israel in the event of an Iranian attack, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on Tuesday.

Kirby told Israeli television Channel 12 that it was difficult to predict the likelihood of an attack, but that the White House was taking Iranian rhetoric seriously.

“We believe they are still in position and ready to launch an attack if they so wish. That is why we have increased our troop presence in the region,” he said.

“Our message to Iran is consistent, always has been and will remain so. First, don't do it. There is no reason to escalate the situation. There is no reason to potentially start a full-scale regional war. And second, we will be ready to defend Israel if it comes to that.”
