USA: Weapons

Asked by Luke AkehurstLabourMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 9 June 2026UIN 5668

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether any Ministry of Defence procurement has been adversely impacted by delays in the delivery of USA-manufactured weapons as a result of the conflict in Iran.

Answered by Luke Pollard

While the conflict in Iran has resulted in changes to delivery schedules of some munitions, Ministry of Defence teams work continuously with US partners to assess and adapt procurement programmes to ensure support to operations. We cannot comment further on specific munitions or stockpile questions for security reasons.
