• The US will need years to replenish stockpiles of advanced weapons used in the Iran war.
• The depleted inventories create a window of vulnerability for a potential Western Pacific conflict.
• The US military fired over 1,000 Tomahawk missiles at Iran, which could take until late 2030 to fully replenish.

The depletion of US munitions stockpiles may indicate a significant vulnerability in the event of a future conflict with China, which could exploit this weakness. The Trump administration's efforts to accelerate production may help, but the time needed to rebuild inventories suggests a prolonged period of risk, which could impact US military strategy and deterrence capabilities.
