💥 ‘Severe Consequences’: How US Helped Israel Counter Iran’s Missile Attack 🚀

In a massive escalation in the Middle East, Iran launched around 200 missiles at Israel on Tuesday. But thanks to Israel’s solid defence and crucial help from the US military, the attack was mostly intercepted, avoiding casualties. US President Joe Biden made it clear: “The United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel.” 🇺🇸🇮🇱

The Missile Strike & US Support

On Tuesday, Iran unleashed an unprecedented attack, launching 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel. But Israel, backed by the US Navy destroyers, managed to shoot down many of them, leaving minimal damage on the ground. In an intense moment, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were monitoring the situation minute-by-minute from the White House Situation Room. Biden praised both the Israeli and US militaries for their quick and skilled response, calling the defence operation a testament to their professionalism.

The US President wasn’t just watching; he had already directed the US military to assist Israel and ensure that the Iranian attack was neutralized. According to Major General Pat Ryder, Pentagon spokesperson, two US Navy destroyers, the USS Cole and USS Bulkeley, stationed in the Mediterranean, played a key role by firing a dozen interceptors to stop the Iranian missiles. 💥

The US National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, added to this, warning Iran of “severe consequences” for this attack. He stated that the US would work alongside Israel to ensure these consequences would be felt. 🌍

A Coordinated Defence 🤝

Before the missile attack, the US had warned Israel about Iran’s imminent strike, allowing Israel to prepare. In fact, US intelligence had already informed Israel about the scale and timing of the Iranian attack, which helped in planning the counterattack.

US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin also stayed in constant contact with his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant, before and during the attack, coordinating defence strategies. Austin reaffirmed that the US is fully committed to protecting Israel and keeping its forces ready in the region against threats from Iran or any Iran-backed terrorist groups.

Iran’s Retaliation & Celebrations 🇮🇷

Iran’s missile barrage was apparently in retaliation for the recent killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. Tehran even celebrated the assault as a success, claiming that most of their missiles hit Israeli targets. This came at a time when Israel was continuing its offensive in Lebanon and Gaza, making the situation even more heated.

While Iran claimed victory, the actual damage seemed minimal, thanks to Israel’s advanced missile defence system and US support. This attack, however, represents a serious escalation in Middle Eastern tensions, as both sides continue to retaliate and ramp up their military efforts. The situation remains fragile, and further attacks from either side could push the region into more violence. 🔥

The Bigger Picture: The US & Wars 🌍

With over 400 years of US history, the country has participated in more than 110 wars! That’s almost like a war for every election cycle, making it clear that the US has heavily profited from conflicts. Instead of seeking peace, many US politicians are catering to the interests of wealthy funders and arms manufacturers. 🌍💸

It’s high time that these politicians prioritize the welfare of their own people by promoting a peaceful world that’s free from war and hunger, instead of continuing to push for a world dominated by weapons and profit from misery.

TL;DR Summary 📰

Iran launched 200 missiles at Israel on Tuesday, but thanks to US-backed defences, Israel managed to intercept most of them, avoiding significant damage. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris monitored the situation closely. US military played a key role by deploying Navy destroyers to intercept the missiles. Iran launched this attack in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah’s chief. The US has a long history of profiting from wars, and it’s high time politicians focused on global peace instead of arms sales.
