Depleted weapons stockpiles could affect the Iran conflict

Hopefully it will limit the length of the war, and not just have US/Israel endlessly bomb while Iran fires off what it can randomly at anyone in range.

- Iran is going to run out of things to fire or things they use to fire off (launchers) pretty soon. The number of things they're been firing off has been on a sharp decrease.

- I am pretty sure Israel and the US are very far from depleting their stockpiles. They are going to completely demolish the regime and all its assets. There are many different types of munitions for different situations, many of them interchangeable.

- The only question mark is interceptors where we have a bit of a race between eliminating the ability of Iran to attack and the remaining (very expensive) interceptors. The lack of interceptors is not going to be a limit. Nobody knows for sure but it'd be a surprise if there aren't enough interceptors for both the US and Israel. The US might have some desire to keep some minimal stockpile for other theaters/concerns so maybe that's a concern.

- The US and Israel can not afford to let Iran gain leverage here and they won't.

The funniest thing about this is how colossally Russia screwed Iran. Iran sent over thousands of drones and dozens of drone pilots for use in Ukraine. No doubt Russia paid for it, but probably not as much as Iran wish they had. 300 extra Shaheds would have made the interception math ugly even last year.

Instead, they send all their inventory north so that Moscow can spend less money to blow up shopping centers and school houses. Meanwhile, the Iranians lose a credible deterrent.

Once the US achieves complete air superiority(and it will) the bombing runs will switch to B52s and JDAMs which we do have a nearly unlimited supply of.
YZF•1h ago
According to statements from both the US and Israel earlier today that was going to happen over all of Iran in a matter of hours. They have already done that over most of Iran's air space.

B52's are already in there: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2026/03/04/...
