Unprecedented depletion of U.S. missile stockpiles, including THAAD and Patriot systems, has been reported by CNN amid ongoing hostilities with Iran, raising significant concerns within the Pentagon and among regional allies.

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, …

U.S. military arsenals have experienced an unprecedented decline in crucial weaponry since the commencement of conflict with Iran, with approximately 80% of THAAD air defense missile reserves and nearly half of Patriot missiles being expended, according to informed sources cited by CNN.

The U.S. military has also deployed nearly all of its long-range, precision ground-to-ground munitions during the ongoing engagement, a source familiar with the matter told the network.

Furthermore, American forces have utilized roughly half of their Tomahawk cruise missile stockpiles in the war against Iran.

Senior U.S. military commanders have issued warnings regarding the critically low levels of munitions within the Department of Defense, which has emerged as a primary concern for the Pentagon, CNN reported, citing its sources.

The reduction in U.S. air defense system inventories has also sparked apprehension among several Persian Gulf nations, American officials told CNN.
