Iran Says US Spent $11 Billion on Missile Defense for Israel

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the United States had spent $11 billion on missile defense systems for Israel over the past three years.

Araghchi described the expenditure as coming from American taxpayers, emphasizing the source of the funding in his criticism of Washington’s support for Israel.

His claim focused specifically on missile defense systems, rather than the overall value of US assistance to Israel.

The brief account of his remarks did not include a breakdown of the spending or identify the systems involved. It also provided no supporting documentation or US response to the claim.
