The conflict with Iran has entered its second month as U.S. Central Command confirms that over 300 American service members have now been wounded since the start of hostilities. A recent strike on Prince Sultan Air Base involving six ballistic missiles and 29 drones left 15 troops injured and damaged critical surveillance aircraft. In response to the persistent threat, the USS Tripoli has arrived in the Middle East, bringing 2,500 Marines and strike fighter aircraft to reinforce a regional force that already includes 50,000 troops. Despite President Donald Trump’s assertions that nearly all Iranian missiles have been neutralized, intelligence reports suggest a significant portion of Tehran’s arsenal remains intact. As the April 6 deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches, the Pentagon is managing dwindling munitions stockpiles, having already deployed over 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in the campaign.
