U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday his message to Iran, which has threatened to take military action against Israel, is "don't."
Speaking to reporters, Biden also said: "We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed."
Biden said he was expecting Iran to attempt to strike Israel in the short term in retaliation for a strike in Syria but warned the clerical state not to attack.
"I don't want to get into secure information but my expectation is sooner than later," Biden said.
