Trump touts stepped-up delivery of Patriots, THAAD and Tomahawks to Middle East forces

President Trump said the US is increasing production of advanced weapons systems, including Patriot interceptors, THAAD missile defenses and Tomahawk cruise missiles, which he said are being delivered daily to US forces in the Middle East and beyond.

Why this matters. Continued high-volume weapons shipments to the region alongside diplomatic outreach show Washington is sustaining its military posture even as it signals openness to talks with Iran.
