Israel completes retaliatory military strikes in Iran; US says it wasn’t involved

Rosemary Kelanic, Middle East director at Defense Priorities, a Washington think tank that argues for a smaller global U.S. military footprint, said that surging more U.S. troops to the region recently has “only encouraged Israel’s brinkmanship and raised the risk of a war with Iran that serves no U.S. interest.”
Kelanic said that “if the past 20 years of failed policy have taught us nothing else, conflict in the Middle East is quicksand. The more the U.S. fights it, the deeper we are drawn in.”
