Media: U.S. Informs Europe of Weapon Delivery Delays Due to Conflict with Iran
¬ Russian Diplomat: Without Mediators, Russia May Not Be Willing to Negotiate Directly with Ukraine

According to sources cited by foreign media, the United States has informed European countries that due to the ongoing conflict with Iran, military needs must be prioritized, potentially leading to delays in weapon deliveries.
Reuters reported: "U.S. officials have notified their European counterparts that, as the war with Iran continues, arms reserves are being depleted, and several weapons from previously signed contracts may face delivery delays."
The report adds that delivery delays are expected to affect several European nations, including Baltic and Scandinavian countries.
Previously, U.S. Missile Defense Agency Director General Heath Collins stated that it will take years for the Pentagon to replenish the weapons stockpile consumed during operations against Iran.
The "Iran War Cost Tracker" website shows that costs incurred by U.S. operations against Iran have already exceeded $51 billion within 45 days since the campaign began.

Rodion Miroshnik, Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry responsible for issues related to crimes committed by the Kyiv regime, said that without a mediator, Russia might not be willing to engage in direct talks with Ukraine.
Miroshnik told Izvestia: "I believe that without some form of goodwill gesture—i.e., without mediation—there is no willingness for direct negotiations at this stage."
