The article discusses the formation of a fragile Middle Eastern alliance between the United States, Israel, and Arab countries to counter the threat from Iran. The alliance, which was years in the making, was put to the test when Iran launched a missile and drone attack against Israel. The defensive measures, including radar systems, jet fighters, warships, and air-defense batteries, successfully intercepted most of the Iranian drones and missiles.
