US burning through ‘years’ of munitions in Iran war​


The first six days of the conflict in the Middle East have cost Washington at least $11.3 billion, estimates show.

The Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated that US forces fired 168 Tomahawk cruise missile during the first 100 hours of the operation against Iran.

“That’s a huge Tomahawk expenditure. The Navy will feel that for several years,” one source told the outlet, adding that the US is facing a shortfall that is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.

Tomahawk cruise missiles, the US Navy’s long-range, subsonic strike weapon that carries a 1,000‑pound warhead, cost about $3.6 million each. The US military has bought just 322 over the past five years, including 57 for fiscal 2026 at $206.6 million, enough to replace only a fraction of those likely used in recent operations.

The scale of US spending sharply contrasts with recent assurances from Washington. War Secretary Pete Hegseth told the public earlier this month that “our munitions are full up and our will is iron-clad,” while Trump boasted that the country can fight wars “forever” thanks to “virtually unlimited” weapons supply.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, signaled resistance to an open-ended request and recalled that the White House had long told Ukraine and its European backers it could not provide more weapons without depleting US stockpiles.

We may send a limited amount of boots on the ground not necessarily to invade Iran but to secure the Strait of Hormuz......

I think it will be looked as less as boots on the ground or invading Iran and more as a means to secure the flow of oil in the region.....


This way the oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and the US has an additional bargaining chip for Iran to give up its enriched Uranium and it would also further erodes Irans military capabilities.


 
Yup President Trump is fucking up Irans Island.......


FAFO 2026.

Pro tip: when you use "years" of ammunition in 2 weeks, it wasn't "years" of ammunition.
Like, if I had a year of food stored up and I used it in a week, it wasn't a year of food.

😅
 
Isolationist/WokeMericans/Democrats blame racism, DOGE and President Trump for the recent terrorist attacks......



These Pink Pussy Hat Fancy Bagel Eaters simply never take responsibility for anything :dunno:

Excuse me for being a decent person and standing up to the Terrorist and WokeMericans/Democrats and their antisemite beliefs and hatred of Jewish people :dunno:
 
With the Nu-Ayatollah dead or in a coma most likely and if not with no proof of life in a weakened state its best to take advantage of the situation and call their bluff and probably take the Kharg Island as @70 Mach 1 or someone else said last week........


IMO they are bluffing and we should call their bluff and take the island with Marines and other boots we are sending. Especially if the island can be secured with a convoy which it will most likely will be it's a no brainer.


At some point things may even out but for now everything is in Americas favor especially as a lot of oil is getting redirected to the Red Sea and away from the Strait of Hormuz to bypass some of the Iranians disruptions. That's a game changer and props to US Military Logistics.


In this sense yeah more solutions should be used like redirecting oil to other parts to get it flowing again and the power of Logistics and Engineering as well should be used. It's not all about just bombing things. Plus Kharg Island is just a huge bargaining chip.

At the same time maybe a deal could be worked up where Iran gives up its enriched Uranium or comes to an agreement it will and then go from there and keep boots on the ground on the Island until they fully give up the enriched Uranium or come to a deal at least. Maybe they give up a batch of the Uranium as a sign of good faith and go from there.
