US President Joe Biden has praised US forces who he said "helped Israel shoot down almost all" of the drones and missiles fired by Iran on Sunday. In a statement, he said the US had moved aircraft and warships to the region before the unprecedented attack.

"I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms," ​​he added. Israel said Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles in its direction, the first time it has attacked Israel directly from its territory. He said the "vast majority" were captured, but there were a small number of hits, including an IDF base in southern Israel. At least one person, reported to be a young girl, was injured.

Iran earlier warned that Israel would be "punished" for an attack on its consulate in Syria on April 1 that killed seven Iranian officers, including a top commander. Israel has not confirmed or denied whether it was responsible. "I just spoke with Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu to reaffirm America's ironclad commitment to Israel's security," Biden said shortly after the pair spoke on the phone.

"I told him that Israel demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks," he added. Biden also said he plans to convene G7 leaders on Sunday "to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran's brazen attack."

He warned Iran against attacking US assets, adding that while Iran has not done so, America "remains alert to all threats".

President Biden cut short a planned visit to his home state of Delaware on Saturday, traveling back to the White House to be briefed by national security officials hours before the attack. White House National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said Biden was "in constant communication with Israeli officials as well as other partners and allies." House Republicans, meanwhile, said they were drafting legislation to provide more aid to Israel and to sanction Iran.

The countries that make up the G7

The G7 consists of the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. Representatives from the European Union also participate.

When was the G7 formed?
The G7 was founded after the OPEC oil embargo in 1973 as a forum for the richest countries to discuss crises affecting the world economy. Its countries have a combined annual GDP of $40 trillion, or just under half of the global economy.
