Washington, United States. U.S. officials have informed European counterparts that some previously contracted weapons deliveries are likely to be delayed as the Iran war continues to draw on weapons stocks, three sources familiar with the matter said.


Countries affected

The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity because the communications were not public, said several European countries will be affected, including in the Baltic region and in Scandinavia.

Foreign Military Sales deliveries

Some of the weapons were purchased by European countries under the Foreign Military Sales program, or FMS, but have not yet been delivered, the sources said. They added that the deliveries will likely be delayed.
