According to the report, experts estimate that refilling this stockpile could take several years. For example, with Tomahawk missiles, of which the US military launched more than 850, it will take 47 months. The stockpile before the conflict was 3,100 missiles.

On February 28th, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran responded by striking Israeli territory and American military installations in the Middle East.

The Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was assassinated on the first day of the military operation, and the Islamic Republic declared 40 days of mourning. Afterwards, US Vice President J.D. Vance stated that Iran and the United States failed to reach an agreement during negotiations, and the American delegation returned home without sealing a deal.
