I genuinely want to understand this. Are the defense systems we are sending so advanced that we can't let anyone else operate them?

I know politics aren't allowed here, so i want to stress that I just want to know why this is happening.

They aren't there to protect it, they're there to operate it.

It's a defensive missile battery, the US expects more missile attacks from Iran and plans to counter them.

This whole thing is a war between the US and Iran, it just happens to be occurring in Israel.

I love when the agency of non-Americans gets ignored because no one but America is worthy of being terrible.

Israel couldn't be fighting Iran without Western support. Iran is literally 8 times bigger in terms of population, and has oil money to fund itself.

Agency is worth nothing if you can't back it up.

Iran has a stated goal of destroying Israel. That's why they're funding multiple terrorist groups to attack Israel.

Israel doesn't have a choice at this point, any more than Ukraine does fighting Russia.

What the fuck has that to do with America?

The US is at war with Iran.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
