Pentagon: US destroyers participated in intercepting Iranian missiles over Israel
American destroyers took part in repelling an Iranian missile attack on Israel. Relevant information at the press conference confirmed Pentagon press secretary Patrick Ryder.
According to him, the destroyers USS Bulkeley and USS Cole were involved in repelling Iranian missile attacks.
“We have a lot of capabilities in the region, a lot of things that are there to be prepared for a wide range of threats,” a US Department of Defense spokesman said.
Previously, Patrick Ryder refused to say whether the United States would join Israel in a hypothetical retaliatory strike on Iran. “I’m not going to talk about hypotheses. I would refer you to the Israeli authorities to discuss this matter,” he said.
