#IsraelIranConflict – U.S. Steps In Amid Rising Tensions💥

Ongoing Conflict

Since June 13, Israel has launched several airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities—including Natanz, Isfahan, and Tehran’s Defense Ministry. In retaliation, Iran has fired over 150–200 ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli targets, striking cities such as Tel Aviv and Haifa. Civilian casualties have been reported on both sides: Israel confirms 10–22 injured, while Iran has reported at least 78–88 deaths.

🛡️ U.S. Defensive Support

The U.S. has deployed THAAD and Patriot missile systems, jet fighters, and naval assets to assist Israel in intercepting incoming threats. Two U.S. Navy destroyers have also been sent to the Eastern Mediterranean to strengthen defense and protect American facilities in the region.

🔍 Strategic Outlook

The situation risks escalating into a broader regional war, especially if U.S. or allied bases are hit.

Iran has suspended nuclear negotiations with the U.S., stalling diplomatic efforts.

Oil markets are reacting sharply, and global powers (China, Russia, NATO) are urging restraint.

✅ U.S. Position

The U.S. remains in a defensive role, focused on missile interception and base protection. However, its active military presence increases the chances of deeper involvement if the conflict intensifies.
