On September 29th, Jinshi data reported that the Lebanese and Iranian governments announced official mourning periods for Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike the day before. While US President Biden called for a ceasefire, he also supported Israel, considering the operation that killed Nasrallah as a 'just act'. Amidst criticism and concerns, the US openly expressed its support for Israel's 'decapitation' operation against its ally. President Biden reiterated in a statement on the 28th that the US supports Israel's right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi militias, and other Iran-backed terrorist organizations. Biden also called for the prompt outcome of US-led ceasefire protocol negotiations to 'eliminate the threats faced by Israel and stabilize the situation in the Middle East'.
