White House says US Navy destroyers joined Israeli military in shooting down Iranian missiles

White House National Security Council adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed that US forces once again worked alongside the Israeli military to respond to the Iranian attack. “The U.S. military coordinated closely with (the Israeli military) to help defend Israel against this attack. U.S. naval destroyers joined Israeli air defense units to fire on Iranian missiles, he said. He described the Iranian attack as “appearing to have been defeated” and said Washington continued to monitor another wave of attacks. Sullivan described the attack as a “major escalation” by Iran and said Washington was in discussions with Israel regarding a possible response.
