Analysis: After US forces intercept several rockets and drones launched at Israel from Iranian proxy Yemen, both sides make it clear they won’t stand idly by as Iran’s proxies take aim at Israel
On the 13th day of the war against Hamas, both Iran and the United States appear to have entered the conflict. On Thursday, Tehran fulfilled its threats to expand the war to additional fronts in the Middle East in an almost literal manner, and the Americans made good on their promise to assist Israel if necessary – not by deploying troops on the ground but via missile strikes and interception of rockets launched by Iranian proxies from regions found far away from Israel’s borders.
The American armada U.S. President Joe Biden sent to the region demonstrated that the U.S. isn’t only interested in a show of force aimed at deterring Tehran and other Shiite Axis actors, but also that forces are ready and willing to take actions in order to defend Israel’s airspace from aerial strikes and missiles launched by Iran’s proxies and possibly by Iran itself.
