I'd wager the US has blown through way more of their stockpile than anyone expected since they keep throwing munitions ineffectually at Iran. Cancelling the German deal means more capacity to build back their own supply.

    This is possibly the real reason. But they’ll never admit that.

    There’s no way in hell this little nonsense in Iran lobbing missiles from ships offshore is anywhere near a fraction of a percent of the weapons used in both Iraq and Afghanistan over the last three wars there.
