  "summary": "General Motors has announced it will manufacture components for Patriot missiles as part of Lockheed Martin's efforts to address the US' significant shortfall in munitions during the ongoing conflict with Iran. This move comes amid reports that the US has utilized up to two-thirds of its missile interceptors, with virtually all long-range missiles expended, according to The Wall Street Journal and Reuters. The Pentagon is seeking additional manufacturers to expedite procurement, as defense experts have warned that the US lacks the capacity to deter a potential Chinese attack on Taiwan and called for a two-year sprint to replenish stockpiles.",
