an advanced anti-missile system – and US troops to operate it – in a bid to bolster the country’s air defenses following missile attacks by Iran.Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense battery would augment Israel’s integrated air defense system.
“It is part of the broader adjustments the US military has made in recent months, to support the defense of Israel and protect Americans from attacks by Iran and Iranian-aligned militias,” Ryder said in a statement. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned earlier on Sunday that the United States was putting the lives of its troops “at risk by deploying them to operate US missile systems in Israel.”
“While we have made tremendous efforts in recent days to contain an all-out war in our region, I say it clearly that we have no red lines in defending our people and interests,” Araqchi posted on X.
