President Joe Biden used his address to the American people on Thursday night to warn Iran it would be held accountable for supporting both Russia and Hamas.

The 80-year-old tied the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel together during his speech and argued ‘we can’t let terrorists like Hamas and Putin win’. 

He noted that Iran was providing military support to both Russia and the terrorist group.

‘Iran is supporting Russia in Ukraine and it’s supporting Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region,’ Biden said. ‘We’ll continue to hold them accountable, I might add.’ 

It comes as the Senate condemned ‘Iran’s support of global terror’ during a resolution which pledged support for Israel on Thursday.

President Biden pleaded with Congress to pass what’s expected to be $100 billion in new funding- but this is already being met with resistance by Congressional Republicans who are wary of giving any new money to Ukraine.

But seated at the Resolute Desk, Biden argued in his 15-minute address that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the terror group Hamas, responsible for the bloody October 7 on Israel ‘represent different threats’ but share a common goal.

‘They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy,’ he said.

Ukraine and Russia also share a common enemy in Iran. 

Biden added: ‘American leadership is what holds the world together.

‘American alliances are what keep us – America – safe. American values are what make us a partner that other nations want to work with.

‘To put all that at risk if we walk away from Ukraine, we turn our backs on Israel – it’s just not worth it.’

The president’s comments come after the Senate unanimously passed a resolution which affirmed support for Israel, its right to self-defense and the condemnation of Hamas’s attacks on civilians.

It ‘condemns Iran’s support for global terrorism, including its support for terrorist groups such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad’.
