Brussels 23.04.2026 The United States has suspended arms deliveries to NATO ally Estonia as its aggression on Iran has put a major strain on US weapons stockpiles.

NEW: The U.S. paused ammunition deliveries to Estonia (especially HIMARS rockets) due to the war with Iran, likely for months, not weeks.

Estonia says it has enough anti-tank weapons but may seek alternatives or rethink purchases if delays continue.

According to Pevkur, Washington will no longer ship HIMARS light multiple rocket launcher ammunition and Javelin missiles to its NATO ally, which borders Russia.

The US, in collaboration with Israel, waged an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28.

The 40-day war had severely drained its weapons stockpiles by the time a Pakistan-brokered two-week ceasefire took effect on April 8.
