CNN reports the US Army has greatly depleted its stock of major missiles during the war with Iran. The military consumed at least 45% of its stock of precision missiles in the last seven weeks of the conflict. This depletion creates a short-term risk of ammunition shortages in a future conflict, particularly against a major power like China. The report underscores the material cost of the recent high-intensity engagement.
