U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday said he expected Iran to attack Israel "sooner, rather than later" and warned Tehran not to proceed.
Asked by reporters about his message to Iran, Biden said simply, "Don't," and he underscored Washington's commitment to defend Israel.
"We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed," he said.
Israel braced on Friday for an attack by Iran or its proxies as warnings grew of retaliation for an attack on Iran's embassy compound last week in Damascus that killed a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' overseas Quds Force and six other officers.
Israel did not claim responsibility for the airstrike on April 1. But Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Israel "must be punished and shall be" for an operation he said was equivalent to an attack on Iranian soil. Biden said he would not divulge secure information, but said his expectation was that an attack by Iran could come "sooner, rather than later." He spoke to reporters at the White House after a virtual speech to a civil rights conference.
The U.S. rushed warships into position to protect Israel and American forces in the region, hoping to head off a direct attack from Iran on Israel that could come as soon as Friday or Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
The moves by the U.S. that are part of an effort to avoid a wider conflict in the Middle East came after a warning from a person familiar with the matter about the timing and location of the potential Iranian attack, the newspaper said.

Fixed it for accuracy.
It was intentionally weak because obamas dementia puppet wants Israel attacked and they want to inject their evil into the equation of dividing the land.
Very dangerous for the USA. That we did not vote for this installed carcass may be our only hope.
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. “ Zechariah 12:2-3
...Until after the election.
Diplomacy at its finest from the cabbage head.
Yes the media are all excited about the prospect of our being involved in open warfare. They are salivating at the idea of Biden campaigning as “a wartime president.”
Iran back to Biden: You’re not the boss of us! Nyah! Nyah!
Whatever. I’m hoping to stay alive. Biden as POTUS is far from reassuring on that score. Even Kamala would be an improvement.
Yes, I distinctly recall him saying that too.
Worst illegitimately installed puppet of a banana republic ever!
May the election be such a monumental landslide that no possible cheating can overcome it.
MAGA
You very well may be right.
During the Jugears regime I had a separate bookmark folder on the Kenyan called ‘0bama starts WWIII.’ A large percentage of the entries are about his treatment of Israel and most of the rest about his s#@t-stirring in the muslim world.

Perhaps - and perhaps we should have gone after Iran after Benghazi...
So is he expecting them to ignore him?
They already did. Who’s going to listen to a senile old man who spends most of his time on vacation?
The ONLY people afraid of Biden is the GOP-e.
It is funny how we were told by the GOO-e that we couldn’t go against Obama for being called racist.
We are getting closer to the truth of why the GOP-e has done nothing since Reagan but I don’t think we know the real reason yet.
“DON’T”! apparently didn’t work, what a complete ars.
Doesn’t matter because biden is rooting for Iran...they have the oil afterall.
