Did President Joe Biden receive advance warning of Iran’s strike against Israel? Reuters is reporting that "Iraqi, Turkish and Jordanian officials each said Iran had provided early warning of the attack last week, including some details." They further reported that Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said on Sunday that "Iran gave neighbouring countries and Israel's ally the United States 72 hours' notice it would launch the strikes," according to Reuters.
U.S. News and World Report also reports that Iran alerted Turkey to its planned operation against Israel and adds that "Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be 'within certain limits.'"
The White House denies the story, which implies that Biden might have greenlighted the drone and missile onslaught, but it fits. Biden has been playing both sides of the field, declaring his support of Israel "rock solid and unwavering" until, that is, it began to cost the president political support.
