There's really no difference between "offensive" and "defensive" weapons. Israel was able to start a war with Iran precisely because they knew they would be protected by the "defensive" anti-missile systems provided by the US, and from US assets directly shooting down Iranian missiles on their way to Israel. Weapons are weapons. Don't fall or the marketing.
