The speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, referred to the tensions in the Middle East, and called on President Joe Biden to "immediately release all the weapons that were withheld and withheld from Israel in the past so that it can protect its people and deter Iran." He added that it must be "made clear that there will be decisive economic, military and international consequences if Iran intervenes or supports any attacks. Now is the time for the White House to give full support to Israel."
