White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that the United States has “warned” Iran over its threats to Israel.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that US support for Israel’s security was “ironclad”, despite his criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s conduct of the war in Gaza.
The United States has repeatedly made public appeals for China, seen as its top long-term global rival, to do more to address the Middle East crisis, including through pressure on Iran, which supports Hamas.
Beijing, in turn, has criticised the United States as biased toward Israel.
