Middle East Coalition Against Iran

Iran retaliated against Israel with a barrage of missiles and drones, which were intercepted by American, British, Israeli, and Jordanian forces. The Biden administration praised the successful operation but Middle Eastern allies remained quiet. Jordan, part of the coalition, is in a delicate position due to its proximity to both Iran and Israel. Saudi Arabia and the UAE shared intelligence with the U.S. to safeguard their airspace. Jordan's participation highlights its reliance on American and Israeli support despite historical criticism of Israel's actions.

Israel's Interception of Iranian Drones and Missiles

Israel promises revenge against Iran after intercepting 99% of drones and missiles launched from Iranian soil. Benny Gantz warns of exacting a price at the right time. Israel's defence systems, along with British, US, French, and Jordanian forces, successfully downed the aerial barrage. Iran claimed self-defence after Israel killed its Revolutionary Guards. Historic attack involved 170 kamikaze drones, 120 ballistic rockets, and 30 cruise missiles. Only light damage reported, with one casualty - a seven-year-old Bedouin girl. UK beefed up cover and intercepted drones and missiles. Iran-backed terror groups celebrated the attack. Israel's air defence system, Iron Dome, played a crucial role in intercepting rockets. Iron Dome is a C-RAM short-range air defence system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells.
