Iran Fires 200 Missiles at Israel; US Responds

In response to Iran firing nearly 200 missiles at Israel, President Joe Biden has directed the US military to assist in Israel's defense, declaring the attack largely ineffective and praising US-Israeli planning. While most missiles were intercepted, some caused minimal damage, and Biden has vowed full support for Israel. The attack has drawn condemnation from global leaders and sparked criticism from US Republicans, who blame Biden's policies towards Iran for emboldening Tehran. Republicans argue that the administration's appeasement strategy has failed, calling for a stronger stance against Iran. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has urged Israel to seize the opportunity to destroy Iran's nuclear program and cripple its regime. The US has warned of severe consequences for Iran and is coordinating with Israel on an appropriate response.
