During the recent 12-day war between Iran and Israel, the United States fired over 150 THAAD interceptors, exhausting nearly 25% of its total stockpile and racking up costs estimated at $1.9 billion. While the U.S. deployed its most advanced missile defense systems to shield Israeli territory, dozens of Iranian missiles still struck their targets — raising alarming questions about the limits of missile defense saturation and America’s readiness for future conflicts.
The Pentagon now faces a growing stockpile crisis, with only 11 THAAD missiles produced in 2024 and a slow ramp-up planned for 2025 and 2026. As tensions continue to rise across the Middle East and Asia, the strategic shortfall of THAAD interceptors is being watched closely by major powers like China and Russia.
This report includes archival visuals of Trump-era THAAD deployments, Iranian missile attacks, and exclusive coverage of defense developments as the U.S. military reassesses its global missile defense posture.

Europe’s powerful ‘E3’—Germany, France, and the UK—are signaling a major diplomatic rift with the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza crisis. After criticizing Israel’s blockade of aid and civilian deaths, France has recognized Palestine, while the UK has pledged recognition without a timeline. Germany’s Chancellor Merz hinted at a coordinated Middle East policy, fueling speculation of a NATO split. As public protests grow across Europe, E3 leaders are pressured to take a tougher stance on Gaza, potentially exposing U.S.–Israel hypocrisy on the conflict.

Iran has lashed out at European powers after they moved to reimpose UN snapback sanctions, branding the move “illegal, illegitimate, and politically motivated.” In a stern warning, Tehran hinted at a possible withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if pressure continues to mount. Iranian officials accused the West of breaking promises and warned that continued provocation could trigger a major escalation in its nuclear posture.

France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York. President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott. European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue. Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

In a high-stakes meeting amid growing trade hostilities, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur during the East Asia Summit. This marked Rubio's first Asia visit since taking office, aiming to reaffirm U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. However, Trump's sudden tariff offensive—slapping 25-40% duties on major Asian economies—has intensified regional friction. China condemned the U.S. move as "bullying behavior," warning nations against cutting Beijing from global supply chains.
Rubio also discussed security and tech cooperation with Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian leaders. While Rubio remained tight-lipped during the talks, Wang launched a blistering critique of U.S. policies. Meanwhile, ASEAN ministers voiced alarm over trade disruptions, signaling a tilt toward diversification. With deadlines looming and diplomacy on edge, the clash of giants over Asia’s future has just begun.
