U.S. Army Uses Nearly All ATACMS and PrSM Missiles in Iran War

U.S. Army stocks of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles have been largely depleted during the five-month war with Iran, with two officials saying virtually all of the weapons have been used. A fourth source said U.S. Central Command had nearly exhausted the land-based missiles it held before the war but replenished some from global military stocks. The drawdown could force Washington to rely more on crewed aircraft in renewed large-scale strikes, increasing operational risk. President Donald Trump and Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the United States still has enough munitions and capabilities to meet its strategic needs.
