‘Two hands better than one': US sends aircrafts to help out by ‘degrading' Iranian capabilities
The Australian's Margin Call Editor Yoni Bashan says 'two hands are probably better than one' following America sending out carriers and aircraft to Israel. 'Having the Americans become involved would make the job of degrading the Iranian capability to strike at Israel's capital cities a much easier task,' Mr Bashan told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'I'm sure what the Israelis have been pushing is for the Americans to enter the arena, but we know that the Americans have drawn a red line against doing that.'

‘The place is empty': Tel Aviv desolate as tensions with Iran reach boiling point
The Australian Margin Call Editor Yoni Bashan says he and many other civilians in Israel are receiving 'conflicting messages" from both Iran and Israel on how the Middle East war will play out. Mr Bashan and The Australian reporter Liam Mendes join from Israel. The number of missiles entering Israel has dropped, with Israel destroying at least a third of Iran's rockets using the Iron Dome. 'The sooner that they run out of their arsenal, the sooner life in Israel can go back to normal,' Mr Bashan told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'If you take a stroll through the streets of Tel Aviv, the place is empty … there's no one here, it's basically COVID-esque once again. 'On the one hand, the Iranians are trumpeting every night …. On the other hand, we've got statements coming from the Israeli government, saying the defensive arrays have been annihilated and they're taking out individual launches in Iran itself. 'We're getting conflicting messages from both sides.'
