Top Republican on Senate Armed Services committee says commitment to Israel "unwavering"​

From CNN’s Lauren Koenig and Ted Barrett

Sen. Roger Wicker, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, reiterated the United States’ “unwavering” commitment to Israel in a statement released Saturday.

“This is the moment for the United States to show we stand together with our allies,” the statement reads. “We must join with Israel to ensure that Iran’s aggression is met with resolute action and resounding strength.”

Wicker’s comments come as Iran says it has fired a first wave of ballistic missiles at Israel.

“Our shared enemies, including Iran and their proxies, need to know our commitment is unwavering,” the statement reads.

Does this suggest that Iran let Israel know before hand? If so, would it be an attempt to down play the attack before it happens?

There are significant implications to this.

I'm not sure. I feel like a major war across the entire Middle East is an unlikely scenario at this point.
 
CNN:
This is the largest drone attack in the history of the world.

Channel 13 Hebrew: American officials have asked Israel to hold advance discussions on any Israeli response to Iran.

Israeli planes are flying intensely over the skies over the western countryside of Daraa and Quneitra, in southern Syria!
 
An Israeli war cabinet meeting is currently convening at IDF headquarters, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.

Here's what we know so far:
  • Military capabilities: Israel had been preparing for the attack, Netanyahu said in a statement Saturday. The country had bolstered its defensive and offensive capabilities across various domains — including land, air, sea and intelligence — ahead of time, according to Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon have temporarily closed their airspace following the strikes, officials say.

  • Also, the US has said it will attempt to intercept any weapons launched at Israel if it’s feasible to do so, according to two US officials, in an indication of the level of ongoing cooperation between the two militaries.

  • How it started: Earlier this month, an airstrike destroyed Iran's consulate building in Damascus, Syria and killed seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp officials — including top commanders, according to Iranian officials and state-affiliated media. The foreign ministers of Iran and Syria accused Israel of authoring the attack. Iran vowed to retaliate.
  • Security meeting: US President Joe Biden returned to the White House Saturday early from his trip to Delaware for a meeting with his national security team. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. CQ Brown were among those expected to be present at the meeting.
  • Moving military assets: The US had observed Iran moving military assets around internally, including drones and cruise missiles, signaling that it was preparing to attack Israeli targets from inside its own territory, according to two people familiar with US intelligence.
  • Ship seizure: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards seized an Israeli-linked container ship with 25 crew members on board in a helicopter operation Saturday near the Strait of Hormuz, state news agency IRNA reported. The White House condemned the seizure and the Portuguese government said it was in contact with Iranian authorities Saturday morning.
  • International response: European officials have warned against further escalation between Israel and Iran. On Friday, Biden issued a stern public warning, saying that his message to Tehran was simply: “Don’t.” Also, countries including France, India, Germany and Canada, are warning citizens to avoid traveling to to Iran, Lebanon, Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories amid the ramped-up regional tensions.
  • More on Iran's position: Iran’s regional allies say they entered confrontations with Israel on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza, Since the outbreak of war in Gaza, Iran’s proxies have launched attacks on Israel and its allies, while demanding a ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave.
  • What this means: The beginning of a state-on-state conflict between Iran and Israel marks a serious escalation in the region – a scenario that the US has hoped to avoid since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October.
