The Pentagon is considering redirecting weapons meant for Ukraine to the Iran conflict, according to reports. The US is facing heavy costs and fast depletion of key missiles like Patriot and THAAD. Officials say there is “a real live discussion” on the move. The war has cost about $2 billion a day. US stocks were already low before the conflict. Volodymyr Zelensky said Middle East forces used over 800 Patriot missiles in three days. Donald Trump has also reduced direct support to Ukraine, raising concerns over its air defence capacity.
