The U.S. has made it clear "privately, and publicly we're committed to Israel's defense – that will always be true, that will not change. If there are further attacks on Israel, of course we will continue to defend them," State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said.
He noted that the Americans had also made it clear that "we seek deescalation and dont want to see this conflict further escalated or a wider regional war."
I love the words devout and sacrosanct to explain how “we” feel about Israel.
The word salads are beautiful to behold.
You need money, sure, how much?
You need weapons, fine, how many?
If you want to carry out assassinations outside Israel, no problem.
You want to attack, cool, we will defend you, but we don’t want to be involved.
De-escalation don’t worry, we have your back.
If this were a black comedy, it would lack credibility.
IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi said that missile fire from Iran would be met with a response.
Speaking at the Nevatim military base, which was hit by five missiles during the Iranian attack, he said, "When we look ahead, we consider our steps. The launch of so many cruise missiles and drones into Israeli territory will be met with a response."
Iran says they will then respond and so on.
I guess our promise of defense is unlimited and unconditional.
Another US involvement in a war in the region I cannot support in any way.
