According to an Israeli media outlet, newly released Pentagon budget documents—also reported by several American media outlets—show that the United States, during the ongoing war and particularly throughout the 12-day invasion of Iran by the Zionist regime in June, fired interceptor missiles worth a total of nearly $500 million on behalf of Israel.

The Zionist media, quoting The War Zone and Business Insider, reported that one of the documents requests $498.265 million in emergency funding to replace an unspecified number of advanced high-altitude interceptor missiles (THAAD) that “were expended in support of Israel.”

Reports indicate that the US fired between 100 to 150 THAAD missiles during the 12-day Israeli attack on Iran.

Further budget requests for replacing these interceptor missiles will require US congressional approval.
