Pentagon Chief Trolls Iran On Effectiveness Of Weapons After Israel Attack

27 April 2024 @ 1:20 am

Pentagon Chief Trolls Iran On Effectiveness Of Weapons After Israel Attack US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday weighed in on the April 13 Iranian attack on Israel, which was the Islamic Republic's first-ever direct attack on the Jewish state. It included some 300 drones and missiles launched at Israel - the vast majority of which were intercepted by Israeli anti-air defenses, but also with US and Western help, and the deployment of warplanes which shot inbound drones out of the sky.
