The resources of the U.S. Navy are insufficient for the defense of Israel, warns the highest American military official in Europe.

General Alexus Grynkewich, the highest-ranking American military official in Europe, warned the Pentagon that the resources of the U.S. Navy are insufficient to continue protecting Israel against ballistic missile threats. In a written notification, he emphasized that, without an additional destroyer, he will have to prioritize the defense of the national territory of the United States.

This situation arises in a tense context in the Middle East, where the war in Iran has depleted American stocks of defensive weapons. The U.S. Navy, which has been involved in defending Israel, is facing pressures due to the blockade of Iranian ports, and American destroyers in the Mediterranean Sea have been essential in intercepting missiles.

At the same time, President Donald Trump announced that he will suspend attacks on Iran, stating that allies in the Middle East have reached an agreement to end the war.
