Israel Running Out of Iron Dome Missile Interceptors | Iran's Missiles Will Rule Israeli Skies?

Israel has warned the United States that its ballistic missile interceptor stockpiles are running critically low as Iran continues heavy missile and drone barrages in the third week of the war.

The sustained attacks are placing enormous pressure on Israel’s layered air defense systems, including Arrow, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome, raising fears that the country could soon face difficult decisions about how to defend its skies.

Defense experts say Iran’s strategy of launching massive missile salvos is designed to overwhelm Israel’s defenses and exhaust its costly interceptors.

With missiles like Arrow-3 costing millions per shot while many Iranian weapons cost only thousands, the growing cost gap could turn the conflict into a long war of attrition—potentially shifting the balance of power in the region.
