US played role in defending Israel amid Iranian attacks: Sources
What we’re hearing from some of our sources here in Washington is that while the United States was not involved in direct strikes on Iran, we do understand now that there has been a role for the US in defending Israel.
Now, we know already that the military equipment that the Israelis use in their defence is paid for by US taxpayers to the tune of billions annually.
But now we know, in terms of positioning assets, as well as the existing assets of the US military in the region, that there has been at least some role played by the US military with regard to having the ability to defend Israel against some of these Iranian attacks.
According to what we’ve been hearing here in Washington, the US army has also employed the THAAD missile defence system again in an effort to try and defend Israel against the retaliatory attacks.

Iranian official says countries that try to defend Israel will become targets: Report
A US broadcaster has quoted an unnamed Iranian official as saying Iran will target the regional bases of countries that attempt to defend Israel.
“Iran reserves the right – under international law – to respond decisively to this regime,” the unnamed official told CNN.
“Any country that attempts to defend the regime against Iran’s operations will, in turn, see its regional bases and positions become new targets,” the official added.
