Biden to return to Washington amid Iran threats against Israel
13 April 2024 18:12 BST
US President Joe Biden will return to Washington this afternoon to consult with his national security team about events in the Middle East, cutting short his weekend trip to Delaware, the White House said.
On Friday, Biden said that he expects an Iranian attack against Israel "sooner, rather than later", as Tehran has vowed to retaliate for Israel's attack on Iran's embassy compound last week in Damascus that killed a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and six other officers.
