US Vice President Joe Biden made strong statements pertaining to the Iranian threat facing Israel, stating emphatically that Jerusalem and Jerusalem alone must decide if Israel launches an assault against Tehran’s nuclear program.
The vice president stated Israel has the “sovereign right” to attack Iran’s nuclear facility.
If Iranian leaders “seek to engage, we will engage” in talks, Biden said. If Iran responds by isolating itself, the US has no standing to prevent Israel from taking action, he said.
“Israel can determine for itself as a sovereign nation what is in its best interest,” Biden said. “If the Netanyahu government decides to take a course of action different than the one being pursued now, that is their sovereign right to do that. That is not our choice.”

Mazal Tov! What has taken US so long to come forward with such a statement?
Don’t be hasty. Wait for the slap down from Obama and the back pedaling from Biden
Perhaps this is why the media got a running start ridiculing Biden and taking things out of context (stronger pro-Israel stance than seen in decades), as if the media is one to ridicule anyone or anything.
So, Joe, how can you dictate to Israel about where to build and where not to build?
as with the weather, if you wait a minute the o’biden administration will change their mind so this is baloney.
what he didn’t add is that if you attack Iran even though it’s your right to you won’t get any funding
just got an email with the slap down from Obama. Now waiting for the back pedal from Obiden.
