“There will be severe consequences for this attack and we will work with Israel to make that the case,” Sullivan said during a press briefing at the White House hours after Iran launched some 180 ballistic missiles at Israel.

“Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel,” the US president stressed.

Biden monitored the attack with US Vice President Kamala Harris from the Situation Room, and the pair held another meeting earlier Tuesday after the US received intelligence that an attack was imminent — information that was quickly shared with Israel.

She slammed the “reckless and brazen” Iranian missile attack, which further demonstrates that Tehran is a “destabilizing, dangerous force” in the Middle East.

      Nah, Israel is cooked. The Iron Dome is not a forcefield, Iran proved that. Israel can’t take Lebanon either. Unless the US commits fully to the war, Israel is finished.

        Would make for a interesting plot twist. I’m sure the American religious zealots would panic hard if the promise land was taken. So I’m gonna go with doubt. Push comes to shove its US boots on the ground to “defend their ally”. Maybe after securing some reconstruction contracts.

          Israel will be finished economically when people flee. Many settlers have dual citizenship, it won’t be a razing to the ground as much as slowly bleeding to death.

            I wonder if it’s like just the rich that will flee. So if the peasants die it won’t matter. Though if enough of the lower class die it will effect the work force. It could cause a more defined 2 class system with them getting more east Asian immigrants instead of just hiring their neighbors.
