The head of US European Command, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, has alerted Pentagon officials that the current number of naval assets is insufficient to continue defending Israel against Iranian missile threats.
Grynkewich indicated that without the deployment of an additional Navy destroyer, the defense of the US homeland may take precedence over Israeli protection. The conflict has severely strained US military resources, with reports indicating a depletion of key missile inventories, including 45% of the Precision Strike Missile stock and significant reductions in THAAD and Patriot missiles. This situation complicates US military strategy and risks diminishing capabilities in future conflicts.
