US will need years to replenish stockpiles of advanced weapons used in Iran war, new analysis finds

A new analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reveals that U.S. military contractors need at least three years to replenish stockpiles of key weapons systems like Tomahawk cruise missiles, Patriot, and THAAD interceptors used in the Iran war. The report highlights a 'window of vulnerability' for potential conflicts in the Western Pacific, particularly with China, despite a historic $1.5 trillion 2027 defense budget proposal by the Trump administration.
