🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷⚠️ The commander of U.S. European Command has reportedly warned the Pentagon that the U.S. Navy no longer has enough destroyers to simultaneously defend Israel from Iranian ballistic missile attacks and meet broader global defense commitments, according to The Washington Post.

🔹 General Alexus Grynkewich reportedly told senior Pentagon officials that the fleet of destroyers assigned to missile defense missions has become increasingly overstretched.

📍 The report states that U.S. Navy destroyers have been conducting sustained operations in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and waters surrounding Iran, while scheduled maintenance has further reduced the number of combat-ready vessels available for deployment.

⚓ According to the assessment, maintaining the current level of missile defense for Israel is becoming increasingly difficult without affecting other U.S. military priorities.

The reported warning highlights the growing strain that prolonged high-intensity operations are placing on U.S. military resources. Sustained ballistic missile defense missions consume both interceptor stockpiles and naval availability, underscoring the challenge of maintaining global force commitments while supporting allies during an extended regional conflict.
