The US military has fired over 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in four weeks of war with Iran, burning through the precision weapons at a rate that has alarmed some Pentagon officials and prompted internal discussions about how to make more available, the Washington Post reports, citing people familiar with the matter.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The US Department of Defense and the White House did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
