U.S. has used nearly all its stockpile of long-range missiles in Iran war, sources say

Key Points:

• The U.S. has nearly exhausted its global stockpile of long-range precision missiles, including Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles, during the war with Iran, according to sources cited by CBS News.
• Defensive interceptors such as Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missiles have also been used at a rate faster than they can be replenished, with inventories significantly reduced since the war began.
• A Center for Strategic and International Studies report estimates it could take until at least mid-2029 for the U.S. to restore its interceptor stockpiles to pre-war levels.
• Pentagon officials maintain that the U.S. military remains powerful and capable, with spokesperson Sean Parnell emphasizing readiness and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissing concerns about stockpile depletion as media exaggeration.
• U.S. strikes on Iran are currently paused to allow diplomatic efforts over the Strait of Hormuz, but President Trump has threatened to resume large-scale attacks if U.S. demands are not met.
