from 21st Century Wire:
The US covertly supplied Israel with hundreds of Hellfire missiles before its recent attack on Iran, as reported by Middle East Eye. On Tuesday, around 300 missiles were sent to Israel as part of a major resupply effort, coinciding with the Trump administration’s deceiving claim it wanted to continue nuclear talks with Iran. However, this significant delivery suggests that the administration was aware of Israel’s plans to strike Iran, according to two anonymous US officials. This shipment, along with other arms deliveries before the attack, had not been previously reported.

The Lockheed Martin Hellfire missiles are a multi-mission, multi-target capability class air-to-ground precision weapons with precision-strike accuracy. Hellfires are laser-guided munitions ideally designed for precise strikes on personnel and command installations, which the Israeli Air Force deployed over 100 aircraft to target senior Revolutionary Guard officials, nuclear scientists, and command centres in the vicinity of Isfahan and Tehran, Iran. Based on a press release issued by the US Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), one can be determined that on February 7, 2025, the State Department had decided to approve a potential Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel, which includes AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles and associated equipment, with an estimated total cost of $660 million, which explains the lack of public notification of the transfer.

“We knew everything, and I tried to save Iran from humiliation and death. I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to have seen a deal worked out,” Trump told Reuters
At this point, we must assume the US military assisted Israel in its strikes on Iran and in intercepting Iranian missiles targeted at the Hebrew state. Information Middle East Eye has the story…

Exclusive: US quietly sent hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel before Iran attack
Hellfire missiles would have been used for precision strikes by Israel during Iran attack, US officials say
The US quietly delivered hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel before its unprecedented attack on Iran on Friday, Middle East Eye can reveal.
The US sent around 300 Hellfire missiles to Israel on Tuesday in a large-scale stock-up of supplies before its attack, and as the Trump administration was saying it was ready to continue engaging Iran in nuclear talks.
The transfer of such a large quantity of Hellfires suggests that the Trump administration was well-informed of Israel’s plans to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran, two US officials told MEE on the condition of anonymity. The US’s delivery of Hellfires or other large quantities of weapons in the lead up to Friday’s attack has not been previously reported.
The US military helped shoot down Iranian missiles that were headed towards Israel, two US officials told Reuters on Friday. Hellfires are laser-guided air-to-ground missiles. They would not be useful for Israel to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, but for precision strikes. Israel’s military used more than 100 aircraft in its attack on Friday, which used precision tracking to target senior military officials, nuclear scientists, and command centres.
“There is a time and place for Hellfires. They were useful to Israel,” one senior US defence official told MEE. Israel killed scores of senior Iranian officials and nuclear scientists on Friday.
