Iran claims US running out of Tomahawk missiles

Iran's Foreign Ministry has claimed that the United States is rapidly exhausting its Tomahawk missile stockpile by using them on civilian targets and wasting valuable arsenal.

Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei wrote on his X account that the US is depleting its arsenal by firing missiles at Iranian schools and other civilian infrastructure. "If they had not destroyed civilian targets in these attacks, the Tomahawk missile stockpile would have been somewhat preserved," he added.

Citing the US strike on a primary school in Minab, southern Iran, on February 28, Baghaei strongly criticised US military policy. "If those missiles had been kept in storage, they could have launched two more Tomahawks today at some other sensitive target," he said.

Iran's remarks are seen as a strategy to question the United States' moral standing on the global stage. On February 28, following the killing of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei and other top military commanders and civilians, the US and Israel launched extensive military operations against Iran.

Amid a month of airstrikes and missile attacks, Tehran has also been carrying out retaliatory strikes targeting US and Israeli positions, escalating tensions between the two sides and raising new questions about Washington's long-term military capability.
