EVENT: Iran’s Historic Aerial Assault on Israel: SITREP and Policy Options

Israel’s multi-layered missile defense system, along with robust support from a broad coalition of allied partners in the region, successfully thwarted the aerial offensive targeting Israeli civilians. All eyes are now on Jerusalem to see what happens next.
