CSIS: US Patriot Stockpile Cut by Two-Thirds, 759–827 PAC-3 Interceptors Remain
🛡️ ARSENAL — These numbers explain the pause better than any diplomat. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: CSIS puts US PAC-3 stocks at 759–827 interceptors, THAAD at 234–278 — two-thirds depleted. Tehran has known the constraint; now markets and allies do too. The bombing pause was never diplomatic cover — it was inventory management. Any Trump strike order Thursday competes directly with Patriot commitments to Jordan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
