- US military stockpiles of premium long-range missiles and interceptors for key missile defense systems are nearly exhausted after more than five months of airstrikes.
- America's depleted arsenal of premier offensive and defensive weapons is undermining President Trump's leverage with Iran.
Why it matters: Per the source, the missile and interceptor shortfall directly undermines Trump's leverage with Iran — meaning any negotiation backed by a threat of force now carries less weight because the US has fewer assets to credibly project.
