It’s being reported just now that Joe Biden is heading back from his weekend vacation at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware to head back to the White House.
What could be so important for him to leave his weekend vacation? Iran.
Here’s the report from Fox News reporter Lucas Tomlinson:
BREAKING: White House says President Biden is returning to the White House from Rehoboth Beach, Del. this afternoon to consult with his national security team about events in the Middle East

I can’t imagine this is simply over the Iranian seizure of a cargo ship this morning in the Persian Gulf. His national security team must have something more urgent about Iran’s “imminent” attack on Israel.
Which brings up a good question. Why would Joe go on vacation and waste all this money flying back and forth between Delaware and the White House if his own intelligence agencies are warning the attack is imminent?
[UPDATE]
U.S. Defense Secretary Austin has spoken with his Israeli counterpart today “to discuss urgent regional threats and reiterated unwavering U.S. support for Israel's defense,” the Pentagon says.
