The United States continues to assess the threat of attacks on Israel by Iran and its proxy groups, such as Hezbollah. After Hezbollah launched rockets and drones in retaliation for a senior commander's killing, Israel responded with a preemptive strike, deploying one hundred jets against the Iran-backed group. Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized that Iranian aggression toward Israel is at its peak, urging continued cooperation with the U.S. to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Both sides, however, signaled a desire to avoid further escalation in the conflict, which has already claimed lives on both sides.
