US military leaders seek Iran war exit strategy amid ammo concerns

U.S. military leadership is reportedly exploring an exit strategy from a potential conflict with Iran, recognizing the limitations of military options. Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has conveyed to President Donald Trump's administration staff the necessity of finding a way out of a potential Iran war.

Milley reportedly believes that sustained airstrikes, the primary tactic thus far, are unlikely to achieve President Trump's stated objectives. Furthermore, he is concerned that more aggressive military actions, such as a full-scale counteroffensive against Iran, could be counterproductive. Trump has consistently expressed reluctance to deploy ground troops, preferring to pressure Iran through air power.

A significant factor driving this strategic review is the concern over rapidly diminishing U.S. ammunition stockpiles. Reports indicate that approximately 80% of THAAD interceptors and about half of Patriot missiles have been expended. Senior commanders have warned that these reserves are "dangerously low." Milley has raised these concerns directly with President Trump.

An anonymous official familiar with the ammunition situation warned CNN that a shortage of interceptor missiles could leave the U.S. vulnerable to Iranian drone attacks, potentially turning conventional U.S. strikes into a disadvantage. Experts suggest that this issue could also impact the U.S. capacity to engage in future conflicts with other adversaries like China, Russia, and North Korea.
