A post on social media argues that Reuters' claim that the US military exhausted nearly all of its ATACMS and PrSM precision missiles in the Iran war is unsubstantiated, because the true stockpile data is classified and unknowable. The post was published minutes after the Reuters report.
The Zioneer reported at 13:55 that Reuters had published a report claiming the US military used nearly all of its ATACMS and PrSM precision missiles during the war in Iran. Within minutes, a social media post challenged the report, labeling it "absolute fake news" and arguing that the US missile and interceptor stockpile is classified and that Reuters cannot know the real numbers.
The post, attributed to a single unverified account, offers no alternative evidence. It is the latest in a series of disputed claims regarding the state of US military stockpiles since the war began. The Reuters report itself cited "people familiar with the matter" and did not provide a public source.
The Zioneer has not independently verified either the Reuters report or the claims in the social media post. The information remains Developing.
