At the direction of President Biden, U.S. forces in the Middle East on April 13 intercepted dozens of missiles and UAVs en route to Israel, launched from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. Our forces remain postured to protect U.S. troops and partners in the region, provide further support for Israel’s defense, and enhance regional stability.   We condemn these reckless and unprecedented attacks by Iran and its proxies, and we call on Iran to immediately halt any further attacks, including from its proxy forces, and to deescalate tensions. We do not seek conflict with Iran, but we will not hesitate to act to protect our forces and support the defense of Israel.   I am grateful for the professionalism and the skill of the brave U.S. troops who took part in today’s actions and who continue to stand guard to prevent further conflict or escalation. I will continue to monitor the situation closely and to consult with our allies and partners. defense.gov/News/Releases/Re…

Examined how the conflict could escalate in November for @TheLibPatriot--misinformation and misattributions, miscalculations, and misfirings. Steps taken by each side that might be intended to deter further actions can, instead, rapidly broaden the conflict.

I often hear: “do you expect the military to do nothing?” That’s not what I suggest at all, a misunderstanding of what civilian harm mitigation IS. It is not restraint. It is a learning, adaptive approach to being effective while identifying and mitigating risks to civilians.
