The US has rapidly depleted its stockpile of Tomahawk cruise missiles in the opening month of the war with Iran, with sources telling the Washington Post that supplies are 'alarmingly low'. More than 850 Tomahawks have been launched so far, a pace that is draining the Pentagon's reserves far faster than they can be replaced.
Many of the Tomahawks were used in the first days of the war, including at least one that hit a girls' school in Iran, killing over 100 children. The Pentagon may have had fewer than 3,100 Tomahawks when the war began, since thousands bought earlier in the missile program are now obsolete. Defense companies like Raytheon have been summoned to White House meetings to speed up missile deliveries.
