The Biden administration is working to blunt a potential Iranian attack on Israel, but it faces an array of fresh challenges as it seeks to replicate the success it had in April when a multinational coalition helped Israel intercept a barrage of Iranian missiles and drones.

Iran has signaled it plans to retaliate against Israel for the killing of a senior Hamas leader in Tehran.
Biden administration officials also are concerned that an Iranian assault might be accompanied this time by strikes from Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia and Tehran’s other proxies in an attempt to overwhelm Israeli defenses.
