US after Iranian attack

Hear

WASHINGTON.– The spectacle of Iranian missiles and drones heading to Israel has inspired awe at the highly effective shield deployed by Israel and its allies, including USA. But relief over the outcome should not distract from efforts to pass a military aid bill for Ukrainewhich is defending against similar missile attacks, and to resolve the devastating war in Loopbut should encourage them.

The situation in Ukraine has become desperate. The country needs air defenses, munitions and warplanes from a coalition of countries like the one that intercepted Iran’s attack on Israel over the weekend. A further delay would help the Russian president, Vladimir Putinwho has redirected the Russian economy toward war production.

The eventual establishment of peace should also be the order of the day in the Middle East. President Biden is right to urge Israel to avoid escalating retaliation with Iran and the broader war that could ensue. Israel’s priority should be the quickest possible conclusion to the war in Gaza. To achieve this, it is necessary to guarantee that immediate humanitarian aid arrives.

Both conflicts still seem to be far from a solution. As it did over the skies over Israel last weekend, the United States can leverage its unique capabilities to avoid the worst.
