The Islamic Republic of Iran ramped up its decades-long assault on Israel with an unprecedented attack last night, firing an estimated 300 drones and missiles at Israel – including directly from Iranian soil. Israel’s multi-layered missile defense system, along with robust support from a broad coalition of allied partners in the region, successfully thwarted the aerial offensive targeting Israeli civilians. All eyes are now on Jerusalem to see what happens next.

Join FDD for a virtual event to hear from leading experts on the details of the attack and the policy options Israel and its partners in the West, including the United States, might be considering in response to deter further aggression by the emboldened regime in Tehran. Tune in for the discussion featuring former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) international spokesperson and FDD Senior Fellow Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus; FDD Chief Executive Mark Dubowitz; FDD Senior Vice President for Research Jonathan Schanzer; and founder and president of Israel-based Alma Research and Education Center Lt. Col. (Res.) Sarit Zehavi.
