  "account": "The US military has exhausted a significant portion of its long-range precision missiles during the five-month conflict with Iran, raising concerns about its preparedness for future confrontations, according to three sources familiar with the matter. The Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) are the primary long-range munitions utilized in the war. These highly accurate weapons, costing over $1 million each, enable accurate strikes from a safe distance. The White House stated that the US possesses \"far more munitions than anyone in the world\" and is currently manufacturing munitions at record levels. However, analysts caution that supplies might fall short for a prolonged war.",
  "summary": "The missiles are principally the army's surface-to-surface weapons, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM).",
