How the U.S. forged a fragile Middle Eastern alliance to repel Iran’s Israel attack

American forces destroyed more than 80 drones and at least six ballistic missiles during the attack on Israel from Iran and Yemen, according to the US Central Command (CENTCOM).

"This number includes a ballistic missile on its launcher and seven UAVs destroyed on the ground in areas of Yemen controlled by the Iranian—backed Houthis," the US military said.

CENTCOM stressed that the United States is ready to help Israel continue to defend itself against "dangerous actions by Iran."
