WASHINGTON, April 14. /TASS/. US President Joe Biden strongly condemned Iran’s attack on Israel in a statement, released by the White House.

"I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms," Biden said, adding that the attacks also came from Iraq, Yemen and Syria.

Earlier, the US leader held consultations with members of his National Security Council and spoke over the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported late on Saturday that Iran had launched drones from its territory towards Israel. The Israeli military remained vigilant and tracked all targets approaching the country, the press service said. Later, missiles were also fired by Iran. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an elite force within the Iranian Armed Forces, later confirmed that a massive drone and missile attack on Israel was under way. The attack came in retaliation for the deadly Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1.
