A recent wave of Iranian missile attacks on Israel forced the United States to use a significant portion of its advanced missile defense arsenal, including about 14% to 25% of its THAAD interceptors. The rapid expenditure of these costly interceptors has exposed a critical vulnerability in the US and Israeli missile defense capabilities, with experts warning it could take years and billions of dollars to replenish the stockpile.

Requests for allied support, such as from Saudi Arabia, were reportedly declined, further underscoring regional complexities. Defense analysts caution that the US and its allies are currently unprepared for sustained or larger-scale missile saturation attacks.
