US Quietly Armed Israel With Hundreds Of Hellfire Missiles For Iran War
Donald Trump boasted to western outlets that the US ‘knew everything’ about the unprovoked Israeli attack on Iran
The US covertly delivered about 300 Hellfire missiles to the Israeli force before it attacked Iranian nuclear and civilian sites, Middle East Eye (MEE) reported on 14 June.
The laser-guided air-to-ground missiles, which are used for precision strikes and assassinations, reached Israel on Tuesday in preparation for Friday’s attack, which has killed at least 78 people, including Iranian military leaders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
No public notification of the transfer was made because the shipments were already approved as part of a $7.4 billion arms deal that the US Congress was notified of in February 2025.
“The transfer of such a large quantity of Hellfires suggests that the White House was well-informed of Israel’s plans to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran,” MEE wrote, citing two US officials speaking on the condition of anonymity.
“There is a time and place for Hellfires. They were useful to Israel,” one senior US defense official told MEE.
Israel’s military used more than 100 warplanes in its attack on Friday, which also used heavier bombs to target Iran’s nuclear sites.
Among those killed in the Israeli attacks are the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Hossein Salami, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, and an aide to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Ali Shamkhani.
Iran’s counterattack, dubbed “Operation True Promise III,” reportedly resulted in at least three civilian deaths and more than 60 injuries as multiple missiles bypassed the Iron Dome defense system and struck urban areas in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, causing damage to homes and infrastructure.
Israeli officials confirmed damage to both residential and military sites, but reported limited fatalities.
