The United States has informed Baltic and Nordic allies that previously contracted weapons deliveries will not arrive on schedule, with air defense systems among the affected equipment. These delays are a direct result of the ongoing conflict with Iran, which is diverting American weapons stockpiles and military resources. The warning specifically impacts NATO's eastern flank, raising concerns about regional security amid heightened tensions. Reuters reported the development, highlighting how the Iran war is straining US military commitments to European allies.
