Washington: Following the Israeli attack on Beirut, U.S. President Joe Biden has ordered American forces in the Middle East to be on high alert.
In a statement released by the White House, Biden directed the Pentagon to assess the positions of U.S. forces in the region and ensure they are ready to respond to any threats. The aim is to guarantee the safety of American military personnel and U.S. interests.
