  When Iraq fired dozens of Scud missiles on Israel in early 1991, the U.S. implored then Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir not to respond. Shamir said he had to act. After days of late-night calls, high-level visits and long cabinet meetings, Israel stood down and the US led a 42-nation alliance that defeated Iraq in what became the Gulf War.
  Iran’s decision to launch 350 missiles and drones at Israel last weekend was the first time since then that a soverei
