Reports indicate that the United States military intercepted several Iranian drones heading towards unspecified targets on Saturday evening.
ABC News and Fox News Digital both confirmed that U.S. forces took action to neutralize these drones launched by Tehran.
According to a U.S. military official speaking to Fox News Digital, American forces in the region remain vigilant, ready to defend against further threats and to safeguard U.S. personnel operating in the area.

ABC News notes that the U.S. military possesses various assets capable of countering Iranian threats across the region.
Prior to these events, President Joe Biden had expressed unwavering support for Israel, promising robust assistance in the event of an Iranian military offensive.
