The U.S. has fired more than a thousand Tomahawk missiles in the war with Iran — WSJ

The United States used more than 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles during the war with Iran, raising concerns among some U.S. officials about weapons stockpiles.

This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.

According to the publication, since the start of hostilities, U.S. forces have also expended between 1,500 and 2,000 air defense missiles, including THAAD, Patriot, and Standard Missile systems.

Analysts note that replenishing these stocks could take up to several years, which has already sparked debate in the U.S. regarding readiness for a potential conflict with China.

At the same time, the Pentagon denies any risks to combat readiness. Officials there emphasize that the U.S. military remains fully staffed, and that combat operations provide valuable practical experience for service members.

The White House also stated that the U.S. has sufficient resources and has not lost its ability to deter potential threats.

Despite this, experts point to rapidly dwindling stockpiles and are calling for an increase in ammunition production. The Pentagon is already working to expand defense capabilities, and the administration plans to ask Congress for additional funding.

Trumpexpressed his willingness to meet personally with Iran’s new leadership.

U.S. President Donald Trump also announced progress in negotiations with Iran, under which Washington would allegedly receive all of Tehran’s enriched uranium without any financial payments. 

Additionally, Israel agreed to a 10-day ceasefire with Lebanon and announced the start of a move toward a diplomatic settlement; however, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that the war against Hezbollah is not yet over and military operations will continue.
