The U.S. military will deploy a sophisticated missile defense system, with crew of U.S. military operators, to bolster Israel's defenses ahead of a potential new ballistic missile attack from Iran, the Pentagon said Sunday.
Why it matters: The new deployment underscores Israel's growing dependence not only on U.S. weapons, but also on U.S. military operational assistance. It also means U.S. soldiers could actively engage in fighting between Israel and Iran on Israeli soil.
