US 'stonewalling' requests by Gulf states to replenish interceptors, sources say

The United States is reportedly 'stonewalling' requests from Gulf states to replenish their air defense interceptor stockpiles amid a conflict with Iran. At least one Gulf nation, which had come under attack from Iran, was brushed off after inquiring about resupplying its depleted defenses. Another Gulf state responded to US requests for base access by asking for a commitment to its air defense systems. The UAE, which has been heavily targeted, reported destroying over 800 drones and missiles but has burned through a significant number of its costly Thaad and Patriot interceptors.
