The U.S. State Department approved the emergency sale to Israel of £1,000 (about 450 kg) bombs, thereby bypassing legislature control.

The contract, estimated at $151.8 million, covers 12,000 BLU-110A/B bombs ordered by West Jerusalem, reported the State Department on Friday.

This announcement took place on the eighth day of the American-Israeli Air War with Iran, and both allies are announcing the launch of a fresh wave of raids.

The Department stated that the urgent nature of the case allows him to omit the request to control legislature under the Arms Export Control Act.

"This proposed sale will contribute to the improvement of the United States' abroad and national safety policy, contributing to improving the safety of the strategical regional partner, which has been and continues to be an crucial driver of political stableness and economical advancement in the mediate East" – informed the department.

"The proposed sale will improve Israel's ability to face current and future threats, strengthen interior defence and service as a deterrent to regional threats" – he added.

Although the United States and Israel have reportedly been preparing for a run lasting for respective weeks, experts are afraid about whether they have adequate ammunition to keep a long-term war.
Tehran rejected US president Donald Trump's call to ‘unconditional surrender’.

W Iran was killed by over 1,300 civilians, including 168 girls' school students in Minab, which was destroyed during the first wave of attacks.
