U.S. Transferred 1,000+ Paveway Bomb Kits from South Korea Before Iran Strikes

The United States moved more than 1,000 Paveway guided-bomb kits from Osan Air Base in South Korea to the U.S. in December 2025, according to South Korean newspaper Chosun. The munitions are believed to have been used in subsequent U.S. strikes on Iran. South Korean officials say the transfer was carried out without prior consultation with Seoul, raising questions about allied coordination in the lead-up to the Iran campaign.
