US delays delivery of weapons to European allies as war on Iran drains stockpile: Report

The United States has reportedly informed its European allies of weapons delivery delays as the aggression that it waged jointly with the Israeli regime against Iran depletes the country’s stockpile.

Citing three sources familiar with the matter, Reuters reported on Thursday that the measure will affect several European countries, including in the Baltic region and in Scandinavia.

Some of the delayed deliveries involve arms purchased by European states under the government-to-government Foreign Military Sales program (FMS) program.

The White House, the US State Department and the Pentagon declined to comment on the news.

The US-Israeli war of aggression, which began on February 28, has consumed significant American military resources, including precision-guided munitions and other critical supplies.

Earlier, Japan’s Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported that US War Secretary Pete Hegseth has informed Japanese Defense Minister Shinier Koizumi last month about potential delays in Tomahawk missile deliveries.

The US has faced weapon shortages for years following Russia-Ukraine in 2022, Israel’s genocide in Gaza in 2023, and two acts of aggression against Iran, including the 12-day one in 2025 and this year’s 40-day one.

Pentagon pushes US automakers to produce arms as arsenals depleting due to war on Iran

Pentagon pushes US automakers to produce arms as arsenals have depleted due to the US-Israeli aggression on Iran.

The shortage has even pushed the Pentagon to use civilian factories for producing munition.

Citing some unnamed military sources, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that senior US military officials have already held talks with top executives of major automakers, including General Motors (GM.N), and Ford Motor (F.N), to produce weapons and other military supplies.
