Sustained war in Iran depletes high-end missile stocks of US

Ballistic missile defence calls for firing at least twice at each target, given the doctrine of shoot-shoot-look, in which crews launch two times and then check the result. That implies at least 2,400 interceptors fired over the course of the war, and perhaps many more, since sometimes additional missiles are needed to defend against incoming projectiles.
