The Pentagon is pushing U.S. defence companies to dramatically accelerate weapons production as concerns grow over depleted munitions stockpiles following the conflict with Iran. Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg has given defence firms 21 days to submit plans for rapidly increasing production, while Pentagon officials say lengthy development timelines are no longer acceptable. Reports indicate U.S. stocks of long-range missiles and key air-defense interceptors have fallen sharply, including Patriot and THAAD systems. President Donald Trump has rejected claims of a major shortage, saying the U.S. has large quantities of munitions. The Pentagon says the production push will shape future defence spending.
