US Joint Chiefs Chairman Warns Iran Against Involvement in Israel Crisis

The new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Charles Q. Brown, warned Iran not to get involved in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, as U.S. officials express concerns that Iran-backed Hezbollah might open a second front. The U.S. military is providing support to Israel by surging air defenses, munitions, and other equipment, and repositioning military vessels to send a strong message of support and deterrence. Gen. Brown also compared Hamas to the Islamic State in its actions.
