EuCom to Israel: "Calm down; behave. We’re doing all we can to strengthen your defenses, because we don’t want you rushing into the military option"

In the ArmyTimes, here
A U.S. government source said the X-band deployment and other bilateral alliance-bolstering activities send parallel messages: “First, we want to put Iran on notice that we’re bolstering our capabilities throughout the region, and especially in Israel. But just as important, we’re telling the Israelis, ‘Calm down; behave. We’re doing all we can to stand by your side and strengthen defenses, because at this time, we don’t want you rushing into the military option.’”
