The United States has shouldered the vast majority of Israel’s missile defense during the war with Iran firing far more advanced interceptors than the Israeli regime itself according to Pentagon assessments.
The disclosure reveals the true cost of America’s blind support for the Zionist regime in the 40-day aggression against Iran. Washington deployed more than 200 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense THAAD interceptors nearly half of the Pentagon’s entire global stockpile solely to defend Israeli targets.
American naval vessels in the eastern Mediterranean also fired over 100 Standard Missile-3 and Standard Missile-6 interceptors. In contrast the Israeli regime used fewer than 100 Arrow interceptors and around 90 David’s Sling systems.

A senior US administration official admitted that in total the US shot around 120 more interceptors and engaged twice as many Iranian missiles as Israel. The figures show that the US absorbed most of the missile defense mission while Israel conserved its own resources.
This heavy reliance once again confirms that the Zionist regime is structurally incapable of defending itself without massive American intervention. The war has significantly depleted US missile stocks raising serious concerns about America’s ability to support Israel in any future conflict.
