The Middle East remains on edge as the conflict triggered by the February 28 US–Israeli strikes on Iran enters its 16th day.
The attacks, which targeted multiple Iranian sites and killed senior Iranian officials, sparked a major regional escalation and a wave of retaliatory missile and drone operations by Iran against Israeli and American positions across the Middle East.
Israeli authorities have informed the United States that they were experiencing a severe shortage of ballistic missile interceptors amid the conflict with Iran, Semafor reported citing unnamed US officials.
According to the publication, Israel entered the conflict with Iran already low on interceptor missiles, having expended them during the 12-day war in 2025. According to one US source, the US had known about this for months. The source also stated that Washington had expected and foreseen this. The official also noted that the US did not experience a similar shortage of interceptors.
