The United States military is facing significant challenges due to the rapid depletion of its advanced missile stockpiles amid the ongoing conflict in Iran. Since late February, US forces have reportedly utilized around 1,100 long-range stealth cruise missiles and 1,000 Tomahawk missiles, which is nearly ten times the annual procurement rate. Additionally, over 1,200 Patriot interceptor missiles have been deployed, far exceeding last year's production of 600. The escalating conflict has incurred costs estimated between $28 billion and $35 billion, averaging nearly $1 billion per day. The Pentagon has begun reallocating weapons from Europe and Asia to sustain operations in the Middle East, raising concerns about military readiness in those regions. This shift has led to cutbacks in training exercises and stretched key systems, including drones and missile defenses. The reliance on expensive, precision-guided munitions complicates the situation, as these weapons are difficult to replace quickly. Although the Pentagon plans to increase production through long-term contracts, funding approvals are still pending, hindering timely responses. The White House maintains that the military remains capable of fulfilling global commitments, yet the current pace of the Iran war necessitates a reassessment of the US's future military capacity.
