Everybody is saying that USA and Israel are running out of weapons. Most of them are saying that USA weapons have been exhausted fighting the first 16 days of the Iran war. This is not propaganda from Iran but is inordinately clear on the ground, though never ever admitted. USA military bases in the Middle East have run out of defensive weapons to protect, which clearly is why they are sitting ducks in the face of cheap Iranian drones and missiles.
Furthermore, the fact that Israel is negotiating a ceasefire with Lebanon is no co-incidence. It is a sign of shortage of weapons, needing to regroup and rearm, perhaps waiting for the outcome of the other side of the war between USA and Iran, hoping the USA could decimate Iran and prevent the supply of further weapons to Hezbollah. That outcome could be pivotal to Israel's further move in Southern Lebanon.
Replenishment of weapons does not work like building models using Lego bricks. It took probably years to stockpile and could be exhausted in a matter of weeks. The movement of interceptors, from Ukraine to Israel earlier and from South Korea to the Middle East weeks ago, tells the whole story of how problematic it has become in producing them, more so with China now clamping down on rare earth elements. Telling the world that such movements are just strategic pivoting is no more than a cock and bull story.

A USA General has come out to claim that the USA did not move THAAD missiles from South Korea to the Middle East. Earlier there were many reports of THAAD redeployment to the Middle East. I guess it depends on how we interpret the move - redeployment does not mean moved.
Why is it suddenly necessary to deny such THAAD movement? Is there going to be a change in the South China Sea problem that needed to resort to such propaganda to remind China that such THAAD weapons are still in South Korea, knowing that Japan is upping provocation against China, while China had closed its airspace around its offshore regions for 40 days until May 5th.
China could take out such THAAD batteries in South Korea easily, so what is the point of talking cock and singing songs.
