“Nearly three weeks into the multifront Iran War, it remains alarmingly clear that the threats we face are not confined to one region,” said the American Jewish Committee in its latest emergency communiqué. “For the Jewish people and the Jewish state, our challenges are global — and so must be our response.”

The AJC, which serves as the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, has activated its network of trusted partnerships across more than 110 countries to shape what it calls “a safe, thriving future for Israel and Jews everywhere.” That urgency has intensified dramatically in recent days, following a wave of antisemitic attacks across multiple continents.

The AJC’s response has been immediate and multi-pronged. CEO Ted Deutch appeared on CNN to call out the Michigan synagogue attack as something that “should horrify every American.” He also penned an op-ed in The Times of Israel reflecting on his 16 years in government confronting the Iranian regime’s brutality — and why this moment demands the same moral clarity.

AJC Detroit Community Director Amy Sapeika appeared on the local Fox affiliate to address how the community is responding, what needs to change, and the welcome support coming from interfaith partners across Michigan.

Beyond the antisemitism surge, the AJC has published a series of analyses to help policymakers, advocates, and the public understand the stakes of the ongoing Iran War and its regional consequences.

The AJC has also highlighted the staggering breadth of Iran’s aggression since the war began on February 28. The regime has attacked not only Israel and the United States, but has fired missiles and drones at ten nations across the region — including the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey, and Azerbaijan. Iran-backed Hezbollah launched over 200 rockets at Israeli civilians in a single week, one of the largest barrages of the current conflict.

The Iranian regime has also been documented using cluster munitions — weapons specifically designed to kill and maim as many people as possible — deliberately targeting Israeli civilian populations.
