The US state department did not take steps needed to reduce civilian casualties and limit possible legal liability associated with the arms sale

In a statement issued Monday, the state department said that the arms sales “were essential to bolster the security of the Gulf region and our ally Israel against the sharp increase in Iranian aggression in 2019.”

While upholding the legality of the emergency sales, the internal watchdog concluded that the state department “did not fully assess risks and implement mitigation measures to reduce civilian casualties and legal concerns associated with the transfer of [precision-guided munitions] included in the May 2019 emergency certification.”

The OGI found that the department approved 4,221 such transfers, with an aggregate value of approximately $11.2bn since January 2017.
