Haig announced on July 20 that escalating violence in the Middle East prompted the United States to continue the suspension of arms shipments. The measure, later expanded to 14 F 16s and two F 15s, followed Israel's raid on the Iraqi reactor which Israel says was defensive. Israel maintains the act did not breach the U S Israel weapons agreement and offered no assurance of future consultation.
