US EditionIsrael running low on Arrow interceptor missiles used against Iranian attacks: Report
- A high-ranking U.S. representative revealed to The Wall Street Journal on June 18, 2025, that Israel’s stock of Arrow missile interceptors is nearly depleted amid ongoing missile strikes launched by Iran.
- This shortage arises during an active conflict marked by frequent Iranian hypersonic missile barrages testing Israel's multi-layered missile defense systems.
- The United States has been aware of Israel's dwindling supply for months and has bolstered Israel's defenses with additional systems on land, sea, and air.
- Tom Karako, director at CSIS, highlighted that neither the United States nor Israel can maintain continuous missile interceptions for an extended period, stressing the need for swift and purposeful action instead of prolonged back-and-forth maneuvers.
- The missile interceptor shortage may increase Israel’s vulnerability and influence future U.S. involvement and the conflict’s regional stability.
