US Army in Crisis with Iran: Alarming Data Continues to Arrive | Report

The US military has used "almost all" of its precision ground-to-ground missile stockpiles since the start of the war with Iran, according to Reuters. Military leaders warned President Trump that dwindling reserves could limit response capability in emergencies, but Trump dismissed the warnings, claiming the US has "far more ammunition than anyone else in the world." Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell reassured that the military holds a "deep arsenal of capabilities," but experts warn that increased production rates won't close the gap quickly.

The US military has used "almost all" of its precision ground-to-ground missile stockpiles since the start of the war with Iran, according to Reuters. In recent weeks, military leaders and Pentagon commanders warned President Trump that dwindling reserves could severely limit the US's ability to respond to additional emergencies. However, Trump, who initially expected a short conflict, dismissed the warnings and rejected claims of a shortage. In an official statement, Trump declared that Washington has "far more ammunition than anyone else in the world, and far more than we need," adding that the country's defense industries are expanding operations and producing weapons at a record pace. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell also sought to reassure, telling Reuters that the US military holds a "deep arsenal of capabilities to protect our citizens and our interests." Nevertheless, military experts and analysts warn that even increased production rates won't be able to close the gap in a short time, sparking heated debates within the administration about continuing strikes on Iran without congressional approval.
