Trump abandons Arab allies for Bibi? ‘Stonewalls’ Gulf states' requests to replenish missile arsenal

As Iran continues launching missiles and drones across the Gulf, Arab allies are warning that their air-defence interceptors are running dangerously low. Reports by CBS News and Middle East Eye say Gulf states have asked Washington to urgently speed up supplies, but deliveries may not arrive quickly enough as the conflict intensifies. U.S. officials, including War Secretary Pete Hegseth, indicated that while the U.S. could help partners resupply, American forces would be prioritised first. Meanwhile, Iranian attacks have continued hitting regional targets, forcing countries like the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to burn through costly missile interceptors in just days of fighting.
