Iran has launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles against Israel in a direct attack on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, marking a significant escalation in Middle East tensions. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the attack as "totally unacceptable" and urged the entire world to condemn it. The assault has drawn widespread criticism of the Biden-Harris administration's policies, with opponents attributing Iran's emboldened actions to perceived weakness and appeasement, including lifting sanctions that have enriched the Iranian regime. Lawmakers emphasized that Iran's aggression threatens regional and global security. The United States military reportedly assisted Israel in defeating the attack, reaffirming its steadfast support for its key ally.
