US warns Japan of severe delays in Tomahawk missile deliveries due to Iran war
The United States has informed Japan of significant delays in the delivery of Tomahawk missiles due to the need to replenish U.S. stockpiles after military operations in Iran. Originally scheduled for delivery by April 2028, the timeline could now extend by up to two years. This delay poses a potential vulnerability for Japan as it seeks to enhance its military capabilities amid regional tensions.
- ▪The U.S. will delay the delivery of 400 Tomahawk cruise missiles to Japan.
- ▪The delay is attributed to the U.S. needing to restock its own missile inventory after operations in Iran.
- ▪Japan's contract for the missiles was signed in 2024 to bolster its counterstrike capabilities against China and North Korea.
