The Iron Dome for America

On January 27, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish "The Iron Dome for America," a next-generation missile defense system designed to protect the United States from advanced aerial threats such as ballistic and hypersonic missiles. This initiative aims to bolster national security by deploying a comprehensive missile shield, enhancing deterrence, and ensuring a secure second-strike capability. The order could have significant political implications, as it requires substantial funding and coordination with allies, potentially reshaping U.S. defense policy and international relations.
