The U.S. is sending one of its prized assets to Israel.
The Pentagon has confirmed it is deploying a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery along with supporting troops.
The move has drawn significant attention as it involves placing American boots on the ground in Israel. While a small number of U.S. forces are already stationed there, the addition of around 100 troops is noteworthy, signaling deeper U.S. involvement in the escalating regional conflict.
THAAD battery is expected to bolster the Israeli air defense network.
This move has not gone unnoticed, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned on Sunday that the US was putting the lives of its troops "at risk by deploying them to operate US missile systems in Israel".
