During Iran's recent attack on Israel, US forces successfully intercepted more than 70 one-way attack drones and at least three ballistic missiles, as reported by two US officials familiar with the situation. The interception of the ballistic missiles took place in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, where US warships were deployed for defense.
According to a senior administration official, Iran launched a total of over 100 ballistic missiles towards Israel, posing a significant threat. The US Navy's presence in the region proved crucial, with two guided missile destroyers capable of intercepting missile and drone launches effectively countering the attack.
