“U.S. troops being deployed to Israel in this matter is seismic,” Malekafzali added. “The U.S. military is now inextricably involved in this war, directly, without any illusions of barriers. Netanyahu is as close as he has ever been to his ultimate wish: making the U.S. fight Iran on Israel’s behalf.”
Israel’s cabinet met Thursday to discuss a potential response to Iran’s October 1 missile barrage. One unnamed Israeli source told The Times of Israel that “no big decisions” were made at the cabinet meeting. Speaking to reporters earlier this month, Biden said that U.S. and Israeli officials were “discussing” the possibility of an attack on Iranian oil infrastructure.
Iran has warned of a “crushing” response to any Israeli attack.
It’s definitely not token. The US is filling a very real hole in Israeli missile defense that they’re neglected over the years.
That who neglected?
EDIT: also, why are you saying there is a hole when just a little while ago you were saying Iran was incapable of damaging Israeli targets with ballistic missiles?
Israel, but that’s neither here nor there. This is still more than a token gesture.
Because in that little while I learned that Iran, indeed, has the ability to damage Israeli targets with ballistic missiles. My bad.
