US in talks with South Korea to shift some Patriot systems to the Middle East
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSouth Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun says the US and South Korean militaries are discussing shifting some US Patriot missile defense systems based in South Korea to be deployed in the war against Iran.
Cho is responding to a question at a parliamentary hearing.
Reports have suggested that the US military could soon be forced to start conserving its air defenses amid the constant Iranian attacks on its assets in the Middle East.
Top US military officials have denied the reports, and at a briefing earlier this week, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the stockpile of Patriot missiles remained “extremely strong.”
