Iran war: Israel tells US its running low on missile interceptors MEE staff on Sat, 03/14/2026 - 21:54 US officials say Israel’s missile defence stocks are under severe strain during the war with Iran This picture taken on March 8, 2026 shows launchers of the Patriot missile system deployed at a US military base in South Korea were withdrawn by the United States relocated to the Middle East amid its war in Iran. (Yonhap/AFP) Off Israel has warned the United States that its supply of ballistic missile interceptors is running dangerously low as its war on Iran enters its third week, according to US officials who spoke to Semafor. Israeli defence systems entered the current conflict already depleted after last year’s fighting with Iran, when large numbers of interceptors were used to block incoming missiles. Iran’s sustained barrage has placed further strain on Israel’s long-range air defence network. Reports indicate that Iran has also equipped some of its missiles with cluster munitions, complicating interception efforts and accelerating the depletion of Israel’s stockpile. Washington has been aware of the problem for months. One US official told Semafor, “It’s something we expected and anticipated" The same official stressed that the United States is not facing similar shortages and retains significant interceptor reserves. The comment comes amid growing concern that a prolonged war with Iran could rapidly drain missile defence supplies. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It remains unclear whether Washington will transfer additional interceptors to Israel. Previous US military aid packages have included missile defence systems, and any further transfers could place pressure on American inventories. “We have all that we need to protect our bases and our personnel in the region and our interests,” the US official said, adding that Israel is “coming up with solutions to address” their shortage. US President Donald Trump recently claimed that the United States possesses a “virtually unlimited” supply of munitions. That claim could not be independently verified. During a 12-day conflict with Iran last June, the US fired more than 150 THAAD interceptors, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies - roughly a quarter of the US inventory at the time. In the opening days of the current war, Washington also reportedly expended about $2.4bn worth of Patriot interceptors.

Israel running low on missile interceptors amid Iran war: Report Israel has warned the United States that it is running dangerously low on ballistic missile interceptors as the war with Iran continues, according to a report by Semafor. The outlet said US officials familiar with the matter confirmed that Israel’s stockpile of interceptors is under heavy strain after days of incoming missile attacks. The report added that Washington has known for months that Israel’s interceptor supply could become a problem during a prolonged conflict. While Israel’s defensive arsenal is reportedly being depleted, the United States still has sufficient interceptor reserves of its own.

US regulator threatens broadcasters over Iran war coverage The head of the Federal Communications Commission has attacked US news broadcasters and warned they could lose their licences over coverage of the war involving Iran. FCC chair Brendan Carr accused media outlets of spreading misinformation after US President Donald Trump criticised reports about Iranian strikes damaging US military aircraft in Saudi Arabia. Writing on the social platform X, Carr warned broadcasters to change their reporting before upcoming licence renewals. “Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up,” Carr wrote. “The law is clear,” he added. “Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.”

Hundreds of peace activists and demonstrators marched in central Seoul on Saturday in protest of the US-Israeli strikes.
