The heavy use of advanced munitions has raised concerns over US missile stockpiles and future military readiness.

The United States has used “virtually all” of its long-range precision missiles during the war with Iran, according to sources familiar with the military’s operations.
The weapons, which allow the US military to carry out accurate strikes from a safer distance, are considered a key part of Washington’s advanced warfare capabilities.
The reported depletion of these munitions has raised concerns among defence officials and analysts about replenishment timelines, production capacity and the readiness of US forces for future conflicts.
Long-range precision missiles are among the most valuable assets in the US arsenal, enabling strikes against heavily protected targets while reducing risks to military personnel.
Officials have not publicly confirmed the exact number of missiles used or remaining stockpiles, but the reports highlight growing pressure on the defence industry to increase production and rebuild inventories.
The situation comes as the US continues to assess the broader military and strategic impact of its operations in the Middle East.
