U.S. Running Low on Tomahawk Missiles in Iran War: Pentagon Concerns and Production Rush
The U.S. is facing a critical shortage of Tomahawk cruise missiles just four weeks into the war with Iran. With around 850 missiles fired, costing between $2 million and $3.6 million each, the Pentagon is worried about depleting stockpiles. Production runs low, with only a few hundred made annually, and the Indo-Pacifics missiles may be diverted to the Middle East. The U.S. has also launched over 1,000 air-defense missiles, draining other resources. Defense planners are debating ways to speed up Tomahawk production, with President Trump pushing for quadrupling output. Oil prices surged due to Irans actions, reaching $111 per barrel. As the campaign continues, shifting to more aircraft strikes could help conserve missiles, despite risks.
