Diplomacy and deterrence failed, but on Saturday night the U.S. military stepped in to help protect Israel against the unprecedented attack from Iran. Credit a near-perfect missile defense, beginning with U.S. planes and warships, for bringing down 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles and 120 ballistic missiles. 

As Iran geared up, the Biden White House once again tried to stop military action by revealing that Iran’s military preparations were being watched. It didn’t work against Iran (or with with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine in 2022.)  

The “Don’t” warning is now defunct. Biden’s foreign policy team has to wake up to the reality that right now, their language of deterrence is broken.

Young military officers and enlisted personnel from the U.S., Great Britain, France and Jordan just carried out a massive save.
