The deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery highlights the U.S.'s commitment to Israel's defense and aims to counter Iranian ballistic missile threats.
Maj. Gen. Ryder noted that this action emphasizes the strong alliance between the U.S. and Israel, especially in light of recent Iranian missile attacks.
The U.S. deployment comes following a significant escalation, where around 200 Iranian missiles targeted Israel, indicating a serious regional tension.
With approximately 40,000 U.S. troops already present in the Middle East, this new deployment signals a direct response to the changing dynamics in the region.
