Gulf States Face Missile Shortages: Urgent Calls for Allied Support

Gulf Arab states are reaching a critical point in air defense as interceptor missile stockpiles dwindle, threatening their ability to counter potential Iranian ballistic missile attacks. With stock depletion expected within 10 to 12 days, officials from the UAE and Qatar are urgently seeking assistance from allies, warning that a significant vulnerability will emerge if shortages lead to rationing of defenses. This situation further complicates regional security dynamics amidst ongoing conflicts and heightened geopolitical tensions.
