The New York Times, citing sources, reports U.S. stockpiles of Patriot interceptors have fallen below 1,700 after heavy use in hostilities with Iran. The paper says the U.S. military has expended more than 1,500 Patriot missiles; the Trump administration is working with defense contractors to accelerate and scale production, but replenishment would still take more than two years. The report adds U.S. forces have effectively exhausted inventories of some long‑range munitions, including the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM).

US affairs expert Dmitry Drobnytsky says the Senate's newly passed Russia sanctions bill is likely to go unenforced and become a 'silent law' akin to the Jackson-Vanik amendment. The Senate on Friday overwhelmingly approved a measure, drafted with input from the late Senator Lindsey Graham, that would levy a 100% tariff on the five largest importers of Russian energy resources and a 500% tariff on all US imports from Russia. Drobnytsky said the bill is primarily political signalling, will likely accumulate exemptions to avoid inflicting heavy damage on an already unstable US economy, and shifts punitive pressure from Russian producers and traders onto buyers of Russian energy products.
