Sustained war with Iran could drain US missile stockpiles, test escalation control

This is a huge concern.  We also need to stop supporting Ukraine with arms.

Sustained war with Iran could drain US missile stockpiles, test escalation control

As coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran continue, current and former defense officials say that while a limited strike lasting several days is feasible, sustaining a broader confrontation — one involving potentially hundreds of incoming missiles — is far more complicated.

The U.S. and Israel undertook a mission known as Operation Epic Fury, targeting Iranian leadership and military sites Saturday. Its duration is still unclear, but the campaign may go on for days, according to U.S. officials.

Sustaining operations beyond the initial window presents a more complex challenge — one shaped by a "zero-sum" competition for missile defense inventories between the Middle East and Europe.

Officials and analysts warn that certain U.S. missile and air-defense interceptor inventories have been severely drawn down by the relentless pace of recent operations. The strategic dilemma for the Pentagon is that the systems required to shield U.S. bases from Iranian retaliation are the same ones being depleted by the defense of Ukraine and the ongoing protection of Israel.............

Rest assured that we will run out of Iranian targets long before we run out of ammo. @libertybele

Defense Production Act ... build more Americal missile factories and re-shore more of the US defense-industrial supply chain.

When it comes to weapons usage the rule is, Oldest out 1st, Newest out last.  It's like stock rotation at Walmart but with war type shit.

Dems are always looking for an excuse for America to forfeit rather than helping America win.

The Dems' America Last strategy won't serve them well at the polls.

For the 2026 Midterms, Americans have two stark choices ... one side that's for Americans, America, and American Exceptionalism ... and the other side that seeks to neuter America on the world stage and to treat law-abiding, working Americans as criminals in their own country.

Well, that's why we have stockpiles in the first place, for major wars like with Iran.
