US running low on air defence missiles amid Iran war

A CSIS report warns that the US is depleting its Patriot and THAAD interceptor stockpiles as the conflict with Iran enters its fifth month. Inventories have fallen to fewer than 827 Patriot and 278 THAAD missiles, down from pre-war levels of about 2,200 and 452 respectively. The think tank cautions that diminished stockpiles could weaken America's ability to respond to crises beyond the Middle East, despite President Trump's reassurances.
