INFOGRAPHIES – If the analysis of seven munitions shows that the United States has “enough missiles to continue this conflict,” the risk lies in future wars, according to a note from the American think tank CSIS.

Eight weeks after the start of the “Epic Fury” operation launched by the United States against Iran, what are the stocks of American weapons? Before even the start of the war waged against Israel, doubts existed about the defensive – proven notably by the Twelve-Day War last June – and offensive American stocks.

While the ceasefire of April 8 between Washington and Tehran has been extended indefinitely this week by Donald Trump, “the analysis of seven munitions shows that the United States has enough missiles to continue this conflict in all plausible scenarios,” as reported in a note published on April 21 by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). However, the risk “that will persist for many years lies in future wars,” especially against an adversary of even greater significance, such as China, notes the American think tank. A risk assumed by Donald Trump.

Four stocks of missiles are likely to have consumed more than half [of the stockpile] before coming into effect. [Context: The article discusses the assessment of the United States’ missile stockpile and the potential scenarios in future conflicts, particularly as related to the tensions with Iran and the risks of future wars with more formidable opponents like China.]
