This marks the first time in history that THAAD systems have been deployed at this scale in actual combat. The unprecedented depletion of 25% of America's premier missile defense system in a single conflict reveals a critical vulnerability in Western defense capabilities. The disparity between Iran's 500-missile arsenal and America's limited THAAD inventory (depleted by 150 units) demonstrates a new strategic imbalance.

📰 What Happened
In June 2025, the US expended 25% of its THAAD missile stockpile defending Israel against Iran's massive 500-missile attack. Between 100-150 THAAD interceptors, worth approximately $1.9 billion, achieved an 86% interception rate but couldn't prevent 29 Israeli casualties. The Pentagon deployed 2 of its 7 THAAD batteries to the region, each requiring 95 troops. Current production of just 12 new interceptors annually raises serious concerns about America's defensive readiness.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The scale of this engagement - 500 Iranian missiles countered by 150 THAAD interceptors - represents an unprecedented level of missile warfare prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39. The revelation that America can only produce 12 new THAAD units annually against Iran's demonstrated capability to launch hundreds simultaneously points to the prophetic power shift from West to East. The $12.7 million per interceptor cost versus Iran's cheaper missiles fulfills Zechariah's vision of Jerusalem becoming a 'cup of trembling' (12:2) - where defending Israel becomes increasingly costly and unsustainable for its allies.
