STORYLINE:

U.S. President Joe Biden reiterated his country's commitment to Israel's security on Monday, underscoring as well the need to contain the conflict from further spreading.
   
SOUNDBITE 1 (English): JOE BIDEN, U.S. President
"The United States is committed to Israel's security. We're committed to a ceasefire that will bring the hostages home and prevent the conflict from spreading beyond what it already has."

Biden said as he sat side-by-side with visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani in the Oval Office of the White House.

These were Biden's first public remarks since Iran launched a large-scale retaliatory attack against Israel on Saturday, in which most of the missiles and drones used were intercepted -- mainly by Israeli and U.S. forces.
   
The Biden administration has been trying to prevent a wider regional war that the Iranian attack and a potential Israeli military response would otherwise lead to.
   
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): JOE BIDEN, U.S. President
"We're also committed to the security of our personnel and partners in the region, including Iraq. The partnership between Iraq and the United States is critical."
