Iran’s attack may speed up the House approval of aid to Ukraine, which, along with Taiwan, is in the same bill with Israel

Three conclusions after Iran’s night attack on Israel.

First: modern weapons in sufficient numbers are highly effective.

Despite the scale of the Iranian attack (185 kamikaze drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 ballistic missiles), thank God, Israel has stayed practically unharmed this night.

Second: reliable allies solve a lot of things.

Almost all targets have been shot down, while still flying over the territories of other countries. Jordan, a country of the Arab world, but, as it turned out, a reliable neighbor, stands out. In the case of Ukraine, Poland could have acted in the same way, relieving the Ukrainian air defense in the western direction.

US, UK air forces and the already named Jordan’s air defense have been helping Israel’s air defense system and air force to fight back the attack. Even Egypt announced its readiness to shoot down Iranian targets if they came within its airspace.

Third, Iran’s attack may speed up the House approval of aid to Ukraine, which, along with Taiwan, is in the same bill with Israel. If this package remains intact.
