"We condemn your inability to string together a tweet which holds Iran responsible for firing 181 ballistic missiles at 10 million Israeli civilians.” - Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to UN secretary general. #israel #iran

"The initial assessment is that Israel was able to successfully defend itself" with two US Navy destroyers also firing about a dozen interceptors against Iranian missiles, DoD press secretary Maj. General Pat Ryder tells Pentagon reporters. #israel #iran

"Starting around 12:30 Eastern time today, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles against a number of targets in Israel," says State Dept. spokesman Matt Miller. The US "once again, came to Israel's defense against these attacks. Just as we participated in Israel's defense when Iran launched its April 13 attack, our initial assessment is that Israel, with direct assistance from the United States and its partners, was able to successfully defeat this attack." #israel #iran
