The United States military is testing Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system in Guam as it eyes possible threats from China.
The tests are part of the US military’s buildup in the Asia-Pacific region aimed at countering Beijing, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Guam is a US territory located some 1,800 miles from China. Around 190,000 US civilians and military personnel are on the island, which houses the closest American military bases to China that are in US territory.
