As the Pentagon weighs shifting Patriot and THAAD air-defence systems from Ukraine and East Asia to the Iran front, allies fear gaps are opening in their skies - from Europe facing Russia to South Korea watching China. New Delhi: The Pentagon may divert weapons from Ukraine - including Patriot missile interceptors - to West Asia to replenish munitions and air defences depleted by the US' war against Iran, three people familiar with developments told The Washington Post Thursday. US forces have also struck over 10,000 targets across Iran since the war began Feb 28, CENTCOM chief Admiral Brad Cooper said Wednesday.
