Administración Trump enfrenta escasez de armamento y presión política en guerra con Irán

Funcionarios de EE.  UU. dijeron que la guerra con Irán, ya en su sexto mes, ha dejado agotadas las defensas de misiles, ha elevado los costos y ha aumentado la presión política, complicando la estrategia del presidente Donald Trump. El Pentágono respondió otorgando a los contratistas de defensa 21 días para presentar planes de producción acelerada de armas críticas después de que los análisis mostraran una fuerte disminución de los inventarios de misiles Patriot, THAAD y de largo alcance. El presidente Trump rechazó posteriormente los informes de escasez, afirmando que EE.

 UU. cuenta con municiones abundantes y prometiendo identificar a los presuntos filtradores. La Casa Blanca y el Pentágono también disputaron las afirmaciones de que los inventarios de interceptores estaban críticamente bajos, sosteniendo que el conjunto de municiones sigue siendo suficiente. Anteriormente, funcionarios del Ejército informaron que la mayor parte de los misiles ATACMS y Precision Strike Missiles se habían agotado. Funcionarios militares añadieron que aproximadamente cuatro quintas partes de los misiles THAAD y la mitad de los interceptores Patriot se habían utilizado desde el inicio del conflicto.
