National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said that Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were monitoring the situation with Iran's massive missile attack.

Most likely, the United States expected Iran to launch ballistic missile attacks on Israel after the start of the Israeli operation against the pro-Iranian group Hezbollah.

It is worth noting that Israel said that Iran fired 180 ballistic missiles on 1 October. The Israeli army stressed that this attack would have consequences for Iran.
