The Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. is racing to cripple Iran’s missile and drone capabilities before American forces run out of key interceptor munitions — a concern top Pentagon officials warned President Trump about before the operation began. The U.S. has been burning through air‑defense missiles at an accelerated pace, with repeated Iranian retaliatory barrages threatening to exhaust regional stockpiles. Replenishment is slow, production is limited, and officials say the U.S. could face a dangerous shortage within days if the tempo continues. 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. currently has no troops on the ground in Iran, but pointedly refused to rule out deploying them, declaring the U.S. will go “as far as we need to go” to neutralize Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities. 

Three polls conducted on the initial U.S. attack on Iran find the American public largely unsupportive of the strikes in the Middle East. A Washington Post poll conducted on March 1 found 52% of Americans opposed to President Donald Trump ordering airstrikes against Iran this past weekend, with another 39% in support and 9% unsure.
