“It takes money to kill bad guys,” #Hegseth told reporters on March 19, saying the ask of Congress is intended to ensure “we’re properly funded for what’s been done, for what we may have to do in the future [&] ensure that our ammunition is — everything’s refilled & not just refilled, but above & beyond.”

…the #Pentagon is seeking >$200 billion from #Congress to fund the #war in #Iran, an enormous ask that has already run into resistance from lawmakers opposed to the conflict. #Hegseth, when asked about that reporting, said last week that the final budget request “could move.”

Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at CSIS, said if the #military has fired >800 #Tomahawks against #Iran, “that would be about a quarter of the total inventory & would leave a large gap for a conflict in the Western Pacific.” His think tank assesses that the Navy may have had as few as 3,100 Tomahawks on hand at the start of the #war a month ago.
“It would take several years to replenish,” Cancian said.

…MacKenzie Eaglen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said that before Operation Epic Fury began late last month, the Navy probably had 4,000–4,500 #Tomahawk missiles on hand. Others naval analysts have said the number could be much lower, perhaps closer to 3,000, following their extensive use in recent operations, including the #Trump admin’s strikes last year in #Iran, #Yemen & #Nigeria.

#Tomahawk missiles, which can be launched from Navy surface warships & submarines, have been a staple of #US #military attacks since they were first used in combat in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. But only a few hundred are manufactured each year, meaning the global supply is limited. The #Pentagon does not publicly disclose how many missiles are in its inventory at any one time.

In the statement, a Bahraini government spox said the missile successfully “intercepted” an Iranian drone mid-air, saving lives.

“The damage & injuries sustained were not a result of a direct impact to the ground of either the Patriot interceptor or the Iranian drone,” the spox said.

Neither #Bahrain nor the #US has provided evidence that an Iranian drone was involved in the #Mahazza incident.

Commenting on the day of the attack, CENTCOM said that an Iranian drone struck a residential neighborhood in #Bahrain.

In response to questions from Reuters, Bahrain on Saturday acknowledged for the first time that a Patriot missile was involved in the explosion over the #Mahazza neighborhood on #Sitraisland, offshore from the capital #Manama & also home to an #oil refinery.

Patriot missile involved in #Bahrain blast likely #US-operated, analysis finds

Middlebury Institute of International Studies researchers concluded with moderate-to-high confidence that the suspect missile was likely launched from a #US Patriot battery located about 4 miles (7 km) to the southwest of the impacted neighborhood.
