The source linked the emergency redeployment to Iran's retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4.

The source said all recent Iranian drone and missile strikes successfully struck their targets both in the occupied territories and at US military bases across the region, exposing critical gaps in American air defense capabilities.

According to the assessment, regional stockpiles of US air defense missiles have been severely depleted, leaving existing systems unable to intercept ongoing retaliatory missile and drone attacks.

US President Donald Trump launched an intensive diplomatic pressure campaign by telephone to European and Southeast Asian leaders, angrily demanding that allies dispatch warships and deploy US-made radar systems.

The source said only one leader agreed to consider the request and three other countries flatly rejected it.

Press TV reported the diplomatic rebuff reflects growing international reluctance to become entangled in the widening war, which the article says was imposed on Iran on February 28 following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several senior military commanders.

Military analysts cited in the article warn allies fear being drawn into a protracted war with unpredictable consequences for global energy supplies and regional stability.
