U.S. officials have informed some European counterparts that some previously contracted weapons deliveries are likely to be delayed as the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø continues to draw on weapons stocks, five sources familiar with the matter said.

The delays underline ?the degree to which the war against Iran, which began with U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Feb. 28, has ?begun to ?stretch U.S. supplies of some critical weaponry and ammunition.

The sources, who spoke on condition ?of anonymity as the communications were not public, said several European countries will be affected, including in the Baltic region and in Scandinavia.
