Iran is outfitting ballistic missiles with cluster munitions in a bid to deplete Israel's air defenses
Israel informed the US this week that it is running critically low on ballistic missile interceptors, as Israel’s long-range defense system comes under strain from Iran’s attacks, Semafor reported on 15 March, citing US officials.
The US has reportedly been aware of Israel’s interceptor shortage for months, but according to one US official, “It’s something we expected and anticipated.”
This official emphasized that the US is not suffering from a similar shortage of interceptors.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar denied on Sunday that it was running low on missile interceptors.
That comment comes amid reports that the US joined Israel to initiate a major conflict with Iran without sufficient interceptors to fight a sustained war.
