U.S Fires 150 THAAD Missiles During Iran War, Burning Through $1.9 billion in Just 12 days

During the recent 12-day war between Iran and Israel, the United States fired over 150 THAAD interceptors, exhausting nearly 25% of its total stockpile and racking up costs estimated at $1.9 billion. While the U.S. deployed its most advanced missile defense systems to shield Israeli territory, dozens of Iranian missiles still struck their targets — raising alarming questions about the limits of missile defense saturation and America’s readiness for future conflicts. The Pentagon now faces a growing stockpile crisis, with only 11 THAAD missiles produced in 2024 and a slow ramp-up planned for 2025 and 2026. As tensions continue to rise across the Middle East and Asia, the strategic shortfall of THAAD interceptors is being watched closely by major powers like China and Russia. This report includes archival visuals of Trump-era THAAD deployments, Iranian missile attacks, and exclusive coverage of defense developments as the U.S. military reassesses its global missile defense posture. #THAAD #IranIsraelWar #MissileDefense #Pentagon #USMilitary #IranMissiles #DefenseNews #MiddleEastConflict #ChinaThreat #IsraelUnderAttack #BallisticMissiles #MissileStrike #USvsIran #MilitaryBudget #Geopolitics

NATO DIVIDED: Germany, France, UK Join Hands On Palestine | Europe’s Big Three Turn Against Israel?

Europe’s powerful ‘E3’—Germany, France, and the UK—are signaling a major diplomatic rift with the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza crisis. After criticizing Israel’s blockade of aid and civilian deaths, France has recognized Palestine, while the UK has pledged recognition without a timeline. Germany’s Chancellor Merz hinted at a coordinated Middle East policy, fueling speculation of a NATO split.
