United States media: the European Command of the United States Army issued a warning that it lacked sufficient strength to protect Israel

On 1 August, according to the Washington Post, several officials stated that the Commander of the European Command of the United States Army, Alexus Grynkewich, had privately warned the Pentagon this week that he lacked sufficient naval power to continue to protect Israel from ballistic missile attacks, highlighting the resource pressure on the United States forces caused by the ongoing Iranian war. The commander stated that if a naval destroyer could not be obtained, he would be forced to choose between United States “native” defence and Israeli defence. A United States defence official stated that this warning by Grynkewich was consistent with a previous briefing given to the Pentagon by senior United States military generals when they perceived risks that required consideration at the United States level. The official stated that this could happen when the commanders of the war zones compete for limited resources and weapons。
