The US has urgently deployed at least one Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) air defense battery in Israel.
The deployment of this $3 Billion system is to reinforce defenses against Iranian ballistic missiles.
This is another signal that Israeli action in Iran is expected to be very forceful and likely trigger Iranian response.
DENIED! U.S. Defense Officials are now Denying the Deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) System operated by U.S. Forces to Israel, despite reports from Israeli Media and Sources; however, they state a Deployment is being Considered.
A VERY SENSITIVE source has revealed to me that Iran sent a message to Israel - "Tehran will turn a blind eye and avoid heavy retaliation if Israel launches a limited strike."
That same source also told me, the Israelis laughed-off the offer and commented that "Iran won't be able to respond when we're done with them."
