13:40Now PlayingUS missile shortages after strikes on Iran are delaying weapons deliveries to NATO states on Russia's border. Estonia, Finland and Lithuania face setbacks to critical systems like HIMARS, raising readiness concerns — and pushing Europe to consider alternative suppliers.

We also spoke with Riccardo Alcaro, head of the Global Actors Programme at the Institute of International Affairs (IAI) in Rome, about his take on Europe's dependence on US weapons.
