The United States has reportedly exhausted much of its stockpile of advanced long-range precision missiles during the conflict with Iran, according to a recent report by Reuters. This revelation suggests that the US military faces limitations in carrying out its threat of the "biggest attack" since World War II against the Islamic Republic, as stated by President Donald Trump.
Reuters obtained information from two sources regarding the depletion of the US's surface-to-surface weapons arsenal, specifically the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). These sophisticated munitions play a crucial role in the US's military capabilities, enabling precise targeting of adversaries from a distance without risking US warplanes to enemy air defenses.
The US Central Command, responsible for overseeing military operations in the Middle East, has reportedly had to replenish its supply of surface-to-surface missiles from other combat zones to maintain its strategic capabilities. The report highlights the challenges faced by the US in sustaining its military prowess during the prolonged Iran war.
