Iran's Proxy Networks Threaten US Critical Infrastructure: Iran and its IRGC pose a significant cyber threat to US critical infrastructure, including water systems. A recent attack on a Pennsylvania water system serves as a reminder of their aggressiveness and impunity.
The Iranian regime's ability to leverage proxy networks, including cyber, poses a significant threat to critical infrastructure, such as water systems, in the United States and its allies. The recent cyberattack on a Pennsylvania water system, while not posing an immediate risk to the drinking water supply, serves as a stark reminder of the aggressiveness and impunity with which Iran and its IRGC are acting to assert their influence. This incident highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to cyber or physical terrorism, which is a major concern for US national security. The US infrastructure, including power grids and water systems, were not built with the idea of being targeted for attack, and securing them is a costly and time-consuming process. Despite these challenges, the US and its allies are constantly being tested, probed, and targeted by outside hostile actors. The potential consequences of a major global conflict include the taking down of key systems to disrupt access to electricity, water, fuel, and food. The Biden administration's call for Israel to restrict its military campaign in Southern Gaza and create areas of deconfliction is a testament to the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the need for strategic de-escalation.

US urges Israel to exercise restraint in Gaza: The US calls for Israel to be cautious during military ops, protect civilians & UN facilities, & avoid large-scale destruction.
The United States is urging Israel to exercise restraint during its military operations in Gaza, following the extensive damage caused during previous phases. The US administration is advocating for de-escalation and the protection of civilian areas, such as UN facilities and shelters, to prevent large-scale displacement and destruction. This comes as Israel continues to release Palestinian prisoners in exchange for hostages and to dismantle Hamas, while facing international criticism for the extensive damage inflicted during military operations. The US is trying to balance its support for Israel's defensive measures with the need to address concerns from the Arab world, Arab American voters, and American youth voters. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with estimates ranging from thousands, but the accuracy of these numbers is disputed due to the source of the reporting. The ultimate goal for Israel is to dismantle Hamas, but the US is urging caution to avoid the severe destruction seen in previous phases.
US supports Israel's goal to destroy Hamas but expects adherence to rules of war: The US supports Israel's efforts against Hamas, but emphasizes the importance of minimizing civilian casualties during conflict.
The US supports Israel's objective to destroy Hamas but expects Israel to adhere to the rules of war and minimize civilian casualties. This was discussed in the context of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with Hamas disregarding international laws and civilian safety. The US, through the White House, has made it clear that Israel does not need instruction on how to address this existential threat but should continue to demonstrate a commitment to preserving life. This situation recalls the tactics used during the American Revolution, with one side wearing uniforms and following a strategic approach, while the other side employed guerrilla tactics. Ultimately, understanding historical parallels and remaining informed can help alleviate stress and anxiety during challenging times.
