US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris discussed with the national security team "Iranian threats to Israel."

The White House said in a statement on Monday that Biden's meeting with the national security team also discussed the attack on the Ain al-Asad military base in Iraq.

The statement added that the meeting comprehensively addressed the increasing tension in the Middle East in recent days, and focused mainly on the tension between Israel and Iran.

The meeting also discussed all necessary measures to ensure the security of Israel and American soldiers in the region.

Yesterday, Monday, US media reported that American soldiers were injured in a missile attack on Washington's Ain al-Assad base in Iraq.

This comes as Israel awaits a possible military response from Iran and Hezbollah, following the assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran at dawn on Wednesday, and the Israeli army’s announcement of the assassination of the party’s prominent leader, Fouad Shukr, a day before.
