NYT:
"A critical question is whether the U.S. will play an extensive role in defending Israel from an Iranian counterattack, as the Biden administration did when those countries exchanged blows last year. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made no mention of such a role in a statement tonight, saying that “our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.” Some prominent Trump supporters are already calling for the United States to stay out of the conflict. Without U.S. assistance, Israeli defenses could be overwhelmed by a barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles, leading to MAJOR damage within Israeli cities."
