Alarming missile report draws forceful response from Trump as Iran war tests America’s arsenal

Fox News · 3 hours ago

The Trump administration has pushed back against concerns that the conflict with Iran has significantly depleted America's stockpile of advanced long-range missiles, after a Reuters report claimed the US Army had used up "virtually all" of its supplies of two key precision weapons systems. The report, citing sources familiar with internal military data, raises questions about the sustainability of America's munitions reserves after months of engagement in the region, prompting a forceful rebuttal from President Trump.

The weapons in question are Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM), both long-range precision-strike systems central to US military operations. According to the report, the Army's inventories of these munitions were nearly exhausted over the course of the five-month conflict with Iran, though the administration disputes the extent of the shortfall described.
