The Pentagon is emptying its Pacific Ocean warehouses to replenish depleted American missile stocks for the Iran war, according to a Western source cited by the security analyst channel Abu Saleh's Arabic Desk. The report says US missile stockpiles are on the verge of depletion.
A Western source cited by the security analyst channel Abu Saleh's Arabic Desk claims the Pentagon is emptying its Pacific Ocean warehouses to replenish depleted American missile stocks caused by the campaign against Iran. The report states that US missile stockpiles are on the verge of depletion, and the Pentagon is transferring stocks from the Pacific theater to fill the gap.
The claim is single-sourced and unverified. The Zioneer has previously reported on concerns about US munitions depletion, including a Washington Post report citing a US official who warned that Pentagon stockpiles of air defense and long-range precision munitions are too depleted to sustain operations safely. Open-source intelligence assessments have also noted that precision-guided missile stockpiles could take 1–4 years to rebuild to prewar levels.
The same channel, Abu Saleh's Arabic Desk, has previously reported on US naval and aerial deployments in the region, including the positioning of refueling tankers and naval vessels, which The Zioneer has covered as single-sourced reports.
