Washington’s stockpiles on the line: The Iran war consumes the entire inventory of “surface-to-surface” missiles and 80% of THAAD


Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

CNN, citing informed sources and officials, revealed a severe depletion crisis facing the US army’s arsenal since the start of the war on Iran, aligning with what Reuters had previously disclosed regarding the erosion of the strategic stockpile of precision and defensive munitions.

The network confirmed, based on an informed source, that the US army has consumed nearly all its long-range, high-precision “surface-to-surface” weapons during the war on Iran.

CNN explained, citing its sources, that the US army has consumed about 80% of its “THAAD” missile stockpile, and about half of its “Patriot” and “Tomahawk” missile stockpiles since the start of the war.

The network reported that senior military leaders have warned that the US Department of War’s ammunition stockpile has become dangerously low as a result of this widespread consumption.

In the same context, officials told CNN that the shortfall in American air defense systems has raised concerns among several Gulf countries regarding the repercussions of this depletion on regional stability and security.
