Biden: US prepared to use force to stop Iran getting nuclear arms

President Joe Biden has pledged that the US is “prepared to use all elements of its national power” to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Mr Biden made the declaration with Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid on the second day of his visit there.

He also pledged that the US would “work together with our other partners to confront Iran’s aggression and destabilising activities”, including Iran’s use of “terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad”.
