She expressed gratitude for the successful defence efforts, highlighting that Israel, with U.S. support, managed to thwart the attack, ultimately saving numerous lives.
Harris reiterated her unwavering commitment to Israel’s security, assuring that the U.S. will not hesitate to defend its forces and interests against any threats posed by Iran.
