⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 ABC Australia: The United States is estimated to have used 3,710–4,510 key precision munitions during the Iran war, equivalent to 31–38% of its estimated pre-war stockpile, citing analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Analysts warned that replenishing some of the most heavily used weapons could take years.
Air defence interceptors were the most heavily depleted, with an estimated 190–290 of 360 THAAD interceptors (up to 80%), 130–250 of 410 SM-3 interceptors (more than half), and 1,060–1,430 of 2,330 Patriot interceptors (up to 61%) expended.
The US also used more than 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles, more than 1,100 JASSMs, and 40–70 of its estimated 90 Precision Strike Missiles (PrSMs).

From what?
U.S. economic indicators during Donald Trump's second term (from January 2025 to mid-2026):
1. The Labor Market & Job Creation
• Sharp Drop in Net Job Creation: The pace of job growth slowed significantly in 2025. The U.S. economy added fewer than 200,000 net nonfarm jobs throughout 2025, down from roughly 1.5 million in 2024.
• Rising Unemployment: The unemployment rate crept upward from ~4.1% at the end of 2024 to 4.4% by late 2025 before fluctuating around 4.3%–4.6% in 2026.
• Slowed Hiring Rates: Employer hiring rates declined to around 3.3%, creating "low-hire, low-fire" job market where job seekers faced limited mobility.
2. Real Income and Disposable Income Growth
• Deceleration in Real Income: Annual real disposable income growth (income available after taxes and expenses) dropped to 0.4% in 2025.
• Median Weekly Earnings: Growth in median weekly earnings slowed to 0.7% in 2025—roughly half the pace seen in 2024.
3. Persistent Inflation & Specific Price Spikes
• Sticky Headline Inflation: Inflation did not cool to the Federal Reserve's 2.0% target in 2025, remaining stuck around 2.7%–2.9%.
• Energy and Food Prices: Energy prices experienced a sharp uptick in early 2026 (driven in part by international trade friction and geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East), while food-at-home price growth accelerated compared to 2024.
4. National Debt & Fiscal Space
• Budget Deficits: The federal budget deficit remained historically high at around $1.9 trillion for FY 2026.
• Debt-to-GDP Ratio: Federal debt held by the public surpassed 100% of GDP in 2026 (reaching 101%), driven by rising interest costs on existing debt and federal expenditures.

Another wake-up call for those who still cling to the idea of a swift end to the war.
