U.S. To Relocate Air Defense Systems From South Korea To The Middle East by TruthU87(op): 10:02am On Mar 06
JUST IN - U.S. considers relocating THAAD and Patriot systems currently stationed in South Korea to the Middle East, amid fears that interceptor stockpiles are running critically low.
The additional systems, currently based in South Korea, would be relocated amid Operation Epic Fury to better protect US and allied forces in the region.

Systems that may be relocated include air defense systems from US Forces Korea (USFK), such as Patriot missiles and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. In addition, surveillance and reconnaissance resources, such as MQ-9 Reaper drones, which have been stationed at Gunsan Air Base in South Korea since last year, might also be reassigned to support the operation.

South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back held a phone conversation with US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby to discuss Operation Epic Fury.

The South Korean Ministry of National Defense stated that both sides reiterated the strength of the South Korea-US alliance in light of a rapidly shifting international security landscape.

How do you start a war you have no weapons to fight with? 5 days into a war and you are already running out of weapons 😂 what do they do with the 1 trillion annual defense budget?

United States simply doesn't have the resources to continue a sustained conflict with Iran. They have to pull weapons and resources from elsewhere. Sounds like the war isn't going the way Trump had hoped...

They were bogged down in Afghanistan just like this. Trump ego won't allow him to call it off. Iranians are not even rising up and taking to the streets to their utter shock and dismay. They can keep bombing Iran but they have failed to achieve their objectives.

This one is the other side reporting to give Iran a false sense of security. No matter what happens, the Islamic regime is gone.

Among the Gulf states, Qatar has the best multilayered air defense system, this is why they get the best interception rates and they go one better shooting down Iranian Su-24 jets. Qatar stands on business when it comes to the best and the best in the world right now is South Korea's Chuggong Air defense systems from Samsung industries......Thus it makes tactical sense to station Thaads from where they aren't needed (South Korea) to areas of great needs (Middle East).

It's as good as destroyed 😆

If you get mind put boots on the ground make them end your world power legacy. The geography of iran is total rock. Worse than Afghanistan. How will you even move your tanks? One thing you can be certain about is many American soldiers won't come back alive. You think this is Iraq? They will slaughter your soldiers one by one

In a country of 100 million. Usa is only bigger than iran just by 3x. Usa should just bundle Trump out of that office. That man is absolutely sick

This war will expose the US just like the war with Ukraine exposed Russia.

Lol, when they started this war,the airhead said they will finish with Iran in 2 to 3 days.
Later,he said 4 weeks,now he said he don't know when it will end.
If not that you are a dullard,how can you go to start a war without thinking about every possibilities.
America just leave their ally South Korea open to attack from North Korea.
That's how they value their allies.

Iran has been preparing for this war for over three decades after the Iran Iraq war.
The war itself was instigated by the usual suspects, the real Devils of this world, the US,they tricked Saddam Hussein into going to war with Iran,but Iraq suffered heavy defeat.
Back then,Saddam Hussein was the darling of the United States,but when they saw that his influence is growing in the region may affect Israel, they cut him down to size sharp sharp.
That's their ally who they used to attacked Iran.
Those people are just soulless and are just after there own interest.

Best time for China and North Korea to move on Taiwan and South Korea respectively.

Like play like play, US is in another Vietnam 2.0.

It will only end in disgrace.

Russia and China, please help us do the lords work by supplying Iran intel and war machinery to disseminate all those beautiful expensive war toys.

They are already begging for weapons just one week into the war.
