image sourced from original article at A report by Semafor claims that Israel has informed the United States that it is running critically low on ballistic missile interceptors as its conflict with Iran continues. The report cites unnamed American officials, though there has been no independent confirmation, and some details appear inconsistent with publicly known aspects of Israel's interception operations.
According to the report, American officials have been aware for months of Israel's limited interceptor capacity. One official stated that the United States has sufficient supplies to protect its own bases, personnel, and interests in the region, and said Israel is working on solutions to address the alleged shortage.
The report also raises questions about whether the United States might sell or share interceptors with Israel, which could affect domestic stockpiles. It further suggests that Iran's use of cluster munitions could accelerate depletion, though Israel typically relies on different defense systems to counter such threats, making some of the claims unclear.
