Harris Calls Iran a Dangerous Force in Middle East

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris condemned Iran as a 'dangerous' and 'destabilizing' force in the Middle East, reaffirming Washington's commitment to Israel's security amidst escalating tensions following Iran's missile attack on Israel. Harris supported President Biden's directive for the U.S. military to shoot down Iranian missiles targeting Israel, emphasizing the effectiveness of joint defense measures that reportedly prevented casualties. She highlighted the broader threat posed by Iran to U.S. personnel and interests in the region, vowing to take necessary actions against Iran and its backed terrorist groups. Harris's statements come as Israel intensifies its military operations in Lebanon and Gaza, where significant civilian casualties and displacements have been reported. Her remarks reflect a strong U.S. stance on Middle Eastern geopolitics, particularly in light of the upcoming presidential election against Donald Trump on November 5.
