Israel presses the U.S. for missile resupply amid plans to strike Iran’s missile and drone sites, following controversial attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, a move critics say violates international law.
Israel is reportedly drawing on U.S. missile depots in the region to replenish its arsenal after recent military operations targeting Iran’s nuclear and drone infrastructure. Sources say Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government is leveraging advanced American weapons for its campaign.
This deployment comes after the U.S. played a direct role in planning and executing strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow. Former President Donald Trump later claimed responsibility via social media, calling the strikes essential for neutralizing Iran’s enrichment capability. Yet Iran has dismissed the damage as minimal, noting that its uranium stock and nuclear infrastructure had been moved months earlier.
Critics argue these actions breach the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation Treaty and Geneva Conventions. They warn that Israel’s strike on a treaty‑bound nation undermines international legal standards.
In response, Iran has vowed retaliation, including missile drills against U.S. bases in West Asia. The Iranian parliament also approved measures to close the Strait of Hormuz an escalation that could severely threaten global energy supplies and military logistics.
Iran’s Operation “True Promise III” saw missile and drone launches targeting Israeli intelligence sites, marking a dangerous escalation. However, diplomatic tension deepened when Trump later claimed that both nations had agreed to a full ceasefire claims that remain disputed.
With Israel seeking U.S. missile support and Iran threatening strategic reprisals, global attention sharpens on how close the region is to widespread conflict.
