Israeli air power dominates Middle East

His comments come days after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Israel should lower the intensity of its strikes. In another development, the Pentagon says the US armed forces have carried out air strikes in Iraq against "Iranian-sponsored militias" in response to an attack on the Irbil air base that injured three US military personnel, one of them critically. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the strikes had targeted three facilities used by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement and its affiliates. He said there had been a series of attacks by the militias on US bases in both Iraq and Syria, and stressed that the US would not hesitate to protect its people and facilities.
