The administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has just announced its plan to send an advanced anti-missile system and several troops to Israel to aid the country in attacking Iran.
The system to be sent is the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), which usually requires about 100 troops to operate. It would include six truck-mounted launchers, with eight interceptors on each launcher, as well as a powerful radar. It is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles at ranges of 100 to 125.
On “Liberty Report” with former Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams, it was also brought up how the current regime is seriously considering directly participating in Israel’s plan to bomb Iran.
“According to an NBC News article that came out, the unnamed administration sources are considering the possibility of the U.S. directly fighting, bombing Iran,” McAdams said. “But Iran is no Iraq. It is a massive country with a massive population, a very high-tech country. Starting the war with Iran is basically like starting a war with Iraq and Afghanistan times 100.”
McAdams added that the U.S. has currently 40,000 troops in the region with most of them in reach of any Iranian retaliatory strike. “Does the U.S. government want these men and women be held hostage so that we can continue to backstop Israel’s rampage throughout the region?” he further inquired.
In response to the possible deployment of an anti-missile system, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned that the U.S. is putting the lives of its troops “at risk” by deploying them to operate missile systems in Israel, confirming McAdams’ sentiment.

“While we have made tremendous efforts in recent days to contain an all-out war in our region, I say it clearly that we have no red lines in defending our people and interests,” Araqchi posted on X.
Fawaz Gerges, a professor of international relations at the London School of Economics, told NBC News that President Joe Biden was sending a message to Iran that the U.S. will do “whatever it takes to protect Israel,” further risking a bigger escalation in the regional conflict.
“This risky strategy risks an all-out wider regional war,” he said. “This is the exact opposite of what the Biden administration has been trying to do.”
Three Gulf sources told Reuters that Gulf states are urging the United States government to stop Israel from attacking Iran’s oil sites because they are concerned their own oil facilities could come under fire from Tehran’s proxies if the conflict escalates.
Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, are also refusing to let Israel fly over their airspace. They are concerned that any attack on Iran could happen that would put them all at risk.
During meetings last week, Iran warned Saudi Arabia it could not guarantee the safety of the kingdom’s oil facilities if Israel were given any assistance in carrying out an attack. Ali Shihabi, a Saudi analyst close to the Saudi royal court, said: “The Iranians have stated: ‘If the Gulf states open up their airspace to Israel, that would be an act of war.'”
Someone familiar with the discussions from the White House confirmed that Gulf officials had been in touch with U.S. counterparts to express concern about the potential scope of Israel’s expected retaliation.
Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Oct. 9 about the Israeli retaliation in a call both sides described as positive.
Jonathan Panikoff, former deputy U.S. national intelligence officer on the Middle East, said that the “Gulf states’ anxiety is likely to be a key talking point with Israeli counterparts in trying to convince Israel to undertake a carefully calibrated response.”
