U.S. could run low on key weapons if conflict with Iran lasts beyond 10 days, Pentagon warns.

The U.S. could face shortages of key weapons, including precision munitions and missile interceptors, if its military campaign against Iran extends beyond 10 days, Pentagon warnings and analysts say. Heavy use of systems like THAAD interceptors, Tomahawk missiles, and F-35s during a recent 12-day conflict has depleted stockpiles, with over 150 THAAD interceptors used—about a quarter of the total. Despite claims of unlimited supply, experts warn high-end weapons may run low, especially as operations continue in support of Israel and Ukraine. The U.S. is currently operating two aircraft carriers in the region, relying on a mix of air, sea, and missile defense assets.
