Iran weakens US Patriot system
The New York Times revealed that Iran carried out advanced attacks over five days in July, consuming about 65% of the United States' Patriot missile stockpiles during this period, due to waves of drones and missiles that are difficult to intercept. The attacks were concentrated on July 17, when an attack on an air defense missile at a base in Jordan resulted in the death of three U.S. soldiers and injuries to more than 100 others. These assaults significantly depleted the U.S. missile stockpile, which exceeds an annual production of 600 missiles, leading to the cancellation of extensive planned operations and steps to boost production through a $58.6 billion deal with Lockheed Martin.
