Officials stated that the Iran conflict has contributed to a worldwide shortage of interceptors and missiles. They added that U.S. production rates are not meeting current demand levels. "We don't see enough missiles in production," the statement said.
The same statement warned that the shortfall could develop into a broader crisis affecting the Middle East. It called for steps to establish a lasting ceasefire in the Iran conflict. Ukraine is monitoring the outcome of any Iran agreement because remaining stockpiles could affect its own defense needs.
