Iran's Imminent Ballistic Missile Launch on Israel: White House Issues Warning
According to Axios, the White House has received intelligence that Iran is on the brink of launching a missile attack on Israel. This is believed to be a retaliatory action for the recent killing of Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
A high-ranking White House official has stated, "The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel."
"We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran," the official added. Following this announcement, crude prices saw an immediate response.
The Defense of Israel
It appears that the White House is ready to militarily defend Israel, despite the lack of official authorization or debate in Congress.
On Monday, the Pentagon confirmed that it is deploying "a few thousand additional troops" to the Middle East. These troops will be on standby to protect Israel from a larger attack. This move is widely seen as a war preparation against Iran, if necessary.
The new deployments will include squadrons of F-15, F-16, F-22, and A-10 fighter jets, along with supporting personnel. Interestingly, just a day before this announcement, President Biden was asked if he planned to send more troops to the Middle East. His response was a clear "No."
Conflicting Information
Yesterday, Biden responded with a "no" when asked about deploying more troops to the Middle East. Today, the Pentagon announced that they are indeed deploying more troops to the Middle East. This has led to questions about who is actually running the country.
In the meantime, shares of Lockheed and Northrop have reached session highs.
Bottom Line
The situation between Iran and Israel is tense, with the potential for military conflict looming. The United States has indicated its readiness to defend Israel, which has led to questions about the decision-making process within the administration. What are your thoughts on this development?
