The media reported an acute shortage of ballistic missile interceptors in Israel.

Israel has informed the United States of a critical shortage of ballistic missile interceptors, and the air defense system is under heavy strain from Iranian strikes. This was reported on March 14 by Semafor, citing American officials.

"We expected and foresaw this," an unnamed American official is quoted as saying in response to a question about US awareness of Israel's low combat capability.

The source noted that the United States does not have a similar deficit. According to Semafor, Israel entered the war with an initially small supply of interceptors due to last year's conflict with Iran.

It only gets worse: the United States is talking about a ground operation in Iran

According to experts, a full-fledged invasion will require at least 500,000 soldiers.

On March 14, US Senator Chris Murphy announced that the United States had lost control of the operation in Iran, which is being conducted jointly with Israel.

The Reuters news agency, citing sources, reported on March 14 that the administration of the head of the White House, Donald Trump, rejected the initiatives of the Persian Gulf countries, which proposed to launch diplomatic efforts to end the conflict with Iran. It is clarified that Iran also rejected the proposal for a cease-fire until the US and Israeli strikes end.
