Military sources say the inventory is virtually exhausted from the Iran conflict, raising stockpile concerns. Trump signaled potential negotiations with Iran and Oman over Strait of Hormuz control by Wednesday.
Military sources report that U.S. precision missile inventory has been nearly exhausted through operations against Iranian targets. This depletion happened against the backdrop of months of direct conflict with Iranian forces and proxies. Meanwhile, Trump has signaled he intends to negotiate with Iran and Oman over control of the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world's most critical shipping chokepoints—with talks potentially beginning by Wednesday.
The timing matters here. The U.S. is sitting down to negotiate from a position where its most powerful conventional weapons are nearly gone. That's not necessarily a negotiating strength. Iran knows the military option is constrained not just by politics but by actual inventory depletion. Trump may be pivoting to negotiation partly because the military tools for continued escalation are running out. These talks could reshape who controls critical sea lanes, and they're happening when America's hand is weakened by its own expenditure.
