An American official warned of a shortage in Arrow system interceptor missiles, which could negatively affect Israel's defense capabilities against long-range ballistic missiles launched from Iran. This was reported to the "Wall Street Journal." The official also claimed that the United States is aware of the problem and is working to improve the defense array on land, sea and air. According to him, the Pentagon has sent assistance to the region - but now there are concerns that the U.S. is "burning through" its own inventory.
