American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, thanks President Donald Trump for taking historic and decisive military action against the threat of a nuclear Iran and praises the United States Military servicemembers who carried out these strategic, limited, and targeted strikes against the Iranian regime’s nuclear sites.

American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, welcomes today's unanimous decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in Fuld v. Palestine Liberation Organization. The ruling upholds a 2019 law that allows American victims of Palestinian terrorists to file civil lawsuits against terrorist organizations in American courts. In partnership with 13 other Jewish organizations, AJC submitted a brief to the court in February urging the Court to rule as it did today.

Since Israel launched Operation Rising Lion—a precise and defensive military campaign aimed at preventing the Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear weapons—Iran has responded with a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones, indiscriminately targeting Israeli civilians. Dr. Matthew Levitt, director of the Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, explains what’s at stake—and what could come next.

Over the weekend, the Iranian regime launched a wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel resulting in at least 24 deaths, hundreds of injuries, and extensive damage.
