US President Donald Trump plans to sign more defense-related executive orders soon, including one on an Iron Dome for the US, said US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to The Hill.
"There are more executive orders coming that we fully support. On removing DEI inside the Pentagon, reinstating troops who were pushed out because of COVID mandates, Iron Dome for America," Hegseth said.
He added that the signing of new orders by Trump is happening quickly.
The Hill reminds that since taking office, Trump has signed numerous executive orders, including one to reinstate service members who were dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. They will receive their former rank and full pay with benefits.
Trump also plans to sign an order banning transgender individuals from serving in the military.
Iron Dome
The Iron Dome is an Israeli missile defense system designed to destroy unguided tactical missiles or rockets from multiple launch rocket systems.
Israel actively uses this system to protect itself from rockets fired by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Yemeni Houthi militants.
The system can also intercept aircraft at altitudes of up to 10 kilometers.
