Dire straits - Panic time at the Pentagon:
"The depleting inventory of missiles could cause headaches for the administration in a prolonged campaign with Iran as it tries to force open the Strait of Hormuz amid rising oil and gas prices."
The US military is burning through the stockpiles of one of its most valuable weapons just weeks into its war with Iran.

I'm getting dizzy trying to keep up with all the policy changes regarding the Hormuz Strait closing.
We'll hit Iran 20 times harder unless they open up the Strait.
Naaaah, we don't need to do that, cuz we don't need that oil.
We're mad at NATO because they haven't volunteered to help us open up the Strait.
Uh, scratch that -
WE DON'T NEED ANYONE'S HELP.
On second thought, we do need help, we're begging NATO, Japan, South Korea and China to send help, stat, pretty please.
Maybe the Strait will open up all by itself.
Maybe our US Navy ships can escort ships through the Strait. No, forget that, it's too dangerous.
News flash, Iran is kindly gifting us some big oil ships, allowed to pass for a mere $2,000,000 toll per ship on a passage that was always free until now - such a deal, well worth fighting this war.
Oops, Dow is down 800 points today - time for Trump to announce some more good news about the Strait, and drive the Dow back up. Gotta wait until Monday for that.
If worse comes to worse, blame it all on JD and Pete.
