Pentagon considers diverting Ukraine military aid to the Middle East
The Pentagon is contemplating diverting weapons intended for Ukraine to the Middle East as the U.S. military has depleted critical munitions in conflicts with Iran. The aid could include air defense interceptor missiles ordered through NATO's Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative. This consideration comes as the U.S. faces munitions shortages across multiple theaters.
