According to the Pentagon, the advanced missile defence system underscores the United States’ ironclad commitment to the defence of Israel, and to defend Americans in Israel, from any further ballistic missile attacks by Iran.

The Pentagon has said it will send a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense battery and troops to Israel, even as Iran warned Washington on Sunday to keep American military forces out of Israel.

Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin authorised the deployment of the THAAD battery at the direction of President Joe Biden.

The system will help bolster Israel's air defences following Iran’s missile attacks on Israel in April and October, according to the statement.

“This action underscores the United States’ ironclad commitment to the defence of Israel and to defend Americans in Israel from any further ballistic missile attacks by Iran,” Ryder said.
