Israel Iran War

The US deployed some 200 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, interceptors against Iranian missiles targeting Israel, while Israel used fewer than 100 Arrow 3 missiles.

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told CNN that “America’s military is the most powerful in the world and has everything it needs to execute at the time and place of the President’s choosing.”

DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS: The Iran war is pushing the UAE and Israel into unprecedented cooperation, while Saudi Arabia looks elsewhere to counter Tehran without empowering Jerusalem.

A source with knowledge of the matter later told the 'Post' that there has been progress in talks with the Iranians regarding groundwork for negotiations.

It was also reported that recently, coordination between the US military and the IDF has been extended, as part of preparations for the possibility of renewed fighting with Iran.

JD Vance said during a White House briefing that although the war with Iran is not a "forever war," an escalation in the absence of a diplomatic solution would serve long-term US security interests.

The advancement on the resolution is a victory for lawmkaers who have been arguing that Congress, not the president, should have the power to send troops to war, as spelled out in the Constitution.

Those who signed up for the “self-sacrifice” scheme have agreed to carry out actions like forming human chains around power stations.

Since the truce with Iran, Israelis have been navigating a reality defined less by what is known and more by what is unknown.

As we celebrate our independence this year, and Jerusalem Day this week, I find that my sense of pride is not only in the state itself but in the next generation who will continue to shape it.
