Senior Commander Warns of Insufficient Naval Capabilities
A senior US commander has warned that the military may not have enough naval forces to sustain its role in defending Israel from Iranian ballistic missile attacks while also protecting the US homeland. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich has requested an additional Navy destroyer to continue both missions, citing the strain on American forces five months into the war with Iran. The warning reflects growing pressure on US forces, with missile attacks becoming nearly daily and prolonged combat reducing supplies of key air-defense weapons. This development was reported by The Washington Post.
