US Navy warships intercepted multiple Iranian missiles targeting Israel in a retaliatory barrage on Tuesday. Iran fired approximately 180 missiles, with US naval destroyers USS Bulkeley and USS Cole playing a key role in defending Israel. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed that US forces worked closely with Israel to thwart the attack. Tehran's strike followed the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. The Pentagon confirmed the US military’s readiness to provide further defensive support, warning Iran of severe consequences for future aggression.
