🚨 U.S. missile stocks could become Washington’s Achilles’ heel against Iran
Experts warn that the United States may run short of interceptors and precision missiles to support a prolonged war against Iran. Reserves of Patriot, THAAD, Tomahawk, and JASSM are said to have been heavily strained by operations in the Middle East and by the military assistance provided to Ukraine.
The situation is becoming more worrying as Tehran adapts its attacks, using faster, more maneuverable missiles launched along trajectories intended to bypass or overwhelm U.S. defenses. Despite repeated strikes, Iran still has sufficient capability to threaten U.S. bases and allies in the region. (New York Post)
The Pentagon says it is accelerating production and will remain able to continue the conflict. Evaluations differ, however: some analysts believe the stockpiles are enough for the current war, but that a new major crisis—especially in Asia—could expose serious logistical weaknesses.
This war is therefore also an industrial battle: whoever can manufacture, replace, and deploy their missiles the fastest could gain the upper hand.
