“Would the U.S. respond?” ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce asked repeatedly as the president walked away after the end of an unrelated event. He paused, thought for a moment and then returned to the lectern.

“We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” he said.

According to one U.S. defense official, the assets being moved to the region include both “ships and aircraft.”

      Embassy staff in the diplomatic service ARE civilian casualties.

      I’m sure Israel thinks breaking international laws are worth it but there’s consequences.

        I only read of the seven IRGC military casualties. If there were more, I didn’t know about them.

          That’s all the media focused on but it wasn’t an empty embassy on a workday. It’s like how the world media focused on the WCK workers killed in Gaza but ignored the Palestinian drivers who also were killed.

            I just read more, and you’re right. I’ll delete my comments. Thank you for prompting me to look for more information.
