A shocking Pentagon assessment has revealed the massive strain the Iran war has placed on the U.S. military’s missile-defense arsenal. According to a report by The Washington Post, the United States fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors and over 100 SM-3 and SM-6 missiles to help defend Israel against Iranian attacks. The report warns that the back-to-back conflicts with Iran have depleted a major portion of America’s advanced interceptor inventory, raising concerns about U.S. military readiness in Asia and beyond. With production delays slowing replenishment efforts, fears are growing over Washington’s ability to respond to future threats from China, North Korea, or a renewed Iran conflict.
