US munitions depleted by Iran war will take years to restore, analysis finds
The U.S. will need at least three years to restore munitions depleted during its 38-day Iran bombing campaign, with key systems like Tomahawk and THAAD interceptors requiring until 2030-2031 to replenish. The conflict cost $29 billion, and while the White House claims sufficient stockpiles, analysts warn of a 'window of vulnerability' for potential conflicts, particularly in the Western Pacific.
