The UK Minister of Foreign Affairs, David Cameron, said the Royal Air Force could not shoot down Russian drones over Ukraine, as was the case in Israel. According to him, this would trigger the risk of escalation and a large-scale war in Europe.
A direct war pitting Iran against Israel, and possibly the U.S., would be extraordinarily costly for Tehran, even jeopardizing the survival of a regime that is already facing a deep domestic legitimacy crisis, and which knows there will be no 'rallying-around-the-flag' effect in case of full-blown war
Ukraine considers the cooperation between Israel and its allies in repelling the Iranian drone and missile attack to be very successful, and also asks partners to provide the necessary weapons to counter Russian missile strikes.
Hamas' Gaza leadership fully supported Iran's attack on Israel, but it also understands that there's virtually no chance Tehran would make a similar move to help the group achieve its ambitions and securing its statue in the postwar Gaza Strip
The leaders of the two major Jewish lobbying groups of the two parties in the US issued a rare and united call to Congress overnight between Sunday and Monday demanding approval of the aid package to Israel, following Iran's massive missile attack. This is a step unprecedented in decades, if ever. In a joint […]
Iran's unprecedented missile and drone attack against Israel last night is the pinnacle of a decades-long Iranian campaign that has been ongoing since the Islamic regime took power during the 1979 revolution. Over the years, Iran has gradually built a sophisticated proxy system and, with the exception of very few instances, has preferred to […]
Lt. Gen. Halevi visited Nevatim Airbase, saying that missile fire from Iran would be met with a response ■ War cabinet meets for several hours, discusses options for response to Iran's attack ■ Iran's FM says Tehran will respond stronger than before if Israel retaliates ■ White House: Humanitarian aid to Gaza has greatly increased in last days ■ Biden: U.S. is committed to Israeli security and to cease-fire deal that will bring hostages home
Israel must leverage that support for the most important goal of all: bringing back the hostages and ending the war in Gaza. Israel should listen to President Biden and to the Arab countries of peace that have come down on Israel's side, particularly Jordan
After the U.S. went above and beyond to help Israel successfully intercept Iran's attack, the President is now aiming his sights at Israel's leaders to avoid further escalation that could lead to all-out war in the region, telling them that they should take this win and move on
Fallen fragments and photographs indicate ballistic missiles, GPS-guided cruise missiles, and one-way drones with massive warheads were fired at Israel as part of the major Iranian attack on Israeli territory
After Iran's unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel, leaders of some of the world's most powerful countries issued messages of support and solidarity to Israel. Major Arab leaders issued more subdued messages of 'concern' and 'restraint,' and Russia justified the attack as 'self-defense'
Iran launches unprecedented attack on Israel, firing more than 350 missiles and drones ■ IDF: 99 percent of launches intercepted with help from U.S., Britain, France and Jordan ■ Biden reportedly warns PM Netanyahu that U.S. won't take part in any Israeli counter-offensive ■ Hamas rejected latest proposal for hostage release/cease-fire deal with Israel, Mossad says ■ Here's what you need to know 191 days into the war
Even after Tehran's direct attack, for the United States, preventing an escalation between Israel and Iran is still the name of the game. Despite what Benjamin Netanyahu may hope, Washington has no intention of being dragged into a war in the Middle East
Iran's Khamenei is caught between hardliners and an Iranian population alienated by his support for an anti-Israel 'Axis of Resistance,' while Tehran's first direct attack turned Israel into the perceived victim of a massive new aggression. Will the retaliation continue, or will Biden stay Netanyahu's hand?
Iran's missile attack on Israel demonstrates the need to strengthen the missile defense systems of both Israel and Ukraine. To do this, the United States must unlock a military aid package for Kyiv and Tel Aviv.
The unprecedented Iranian attack in the early hours of Sunday is an inflection point for Israel and its allies, offering the possibility of being a real game-changer in the Middle East in Israel's favor – but only if Benjamin Netanyahu now makes the right moves
