Washington Expedites Munitions and Radar Deals Amid Iranian Strikes
The US has announced a series of emergency Foreign Military Sales to Middle Eastern allies, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, totaling over $15 billion. The sales include high-dollar equipment such as Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor radars, counter-drone systems, and air-to-air missiles. The move comes as these nations face increasing Iranian missile and drone strikes, with the US citing national security interests as justification for expediting the deals. The sales were announced by the State Department, as reported by Breaking Defense.
