From the very first moments of the Israeli regime’s attack on Iranian soil, the unwavering support of the United States for this criminal regime was evident. This alliance may have surprised some, but in reality, the U.S. has always been the mainstay for the Zionists in all conflicts and tensions over the recent decades.
This new battle against a formidable nation like Iran has further exposed Israel’s dependence on direct military support from the U.S. In this historical series, we aim to closely examine how the Israeli military forces were formed and their intense reliance on military and training assistance from Western countries.
Contrary to the repeated assertions of Western and Zionist media, the truth is that Israel relies on foreign support for the production of its key and widely-used weapons. A significant portion of these weapons is either fully manufactured in the U.S. or have parts produced worldwide, which are then sent to the occupied territories for companies like Elbit, Rafael, and IAI to assemble and present a modern and independent facade.From fighter jets and combat helicopters to naval vessels and defense systems, even critical components of the Merkava tank, which has a German engine and American armor and tracks, all stem from this dependency. The Zionists are even reliant on the U.S. for the production of mortars and 155mm artillery shells, lacking an independent production line in this regard.
In fact, the Zionists have established several shell companies claiming to produce or assemble weapons in the occupied territories, thereby presenting what is directly produced in U.S. factories with American labor and budget as indigenous Israeli weapons.
Military experts unanimously state that if Western arms support were to cease, Israel would not be able to endure even a few weeks of conflict in Gaza, let alone face a country like Iran.This reality became more apparent during the illegal and criminal aggression of the Israeli regime against Iranian territory on June 12, 2025. After twelve days of intense fighting, with severe depletion of the air fleet, catastrophic shortages of offensive munitions, and a significant reduction in missile defense reserves, Israel was on the brink of operational collapse.
Only thanks to immediate U.S. interventions, with repeated shipments of transport aircraft carrying munitions, was Israel able to withstand heavy missile attacks from Iran for a few days until its larger master arranged a ceasefire to save the Zionists.Contrary to popular belief, the role of Western nations in supporting the Israeli regime extends beyond merely supplying weapons and military equipment. Over the past two years, in response to operations ‘Promised Response 1’, ‘Promised Response 2’, and ‘Promised Response 3′ conducted by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, NATO member countries in the Middle East have actively supported the occupiers.
They have provided combat intelligence, intercepting Iranian drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, standing firm against attacks on Israel. Rafale and Mirage 2000 fighter jets from France, and British Eurofighter Typhoons, have played a vital role in intercepting Iranian missiles and suicide drones from bases in Southern Europe, especially from Cyprus.In the final days of the twelve-day battle when the reserves of the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 systems of the Israeli regime were severely depleted American defense systems took on the primary role of protecting Tel Aviv Haifa and key military centers of this regime.
According to numerous think tanks and Western research agencies with the sharp reduction of American missile defense stockpiles and some offensive weapons provided to Israel the country will not be able to execute another large military operation in the region. This is due to the Americans’ fear of conflict with China or military intervention in Venezuela leaving them incapable of effectively defending the Zionists in another widespread war. This comes after years of Zionist-aligned media efforts to portray Israel as self-sufficient in many military domains.
