> New data from the Center for Strategic and International Studies indicates that the ongoing conflict with Iran has seriously depleted U.S. military stockpiles. Patriot interceptors fell from about 3,100 to 800 by the end of July 2026. HARM/AARGM and other missile shortages have also worsened amid operations against Houthi forces and heavy Tomahawk use since 2024.
