Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) stands accused of exposing top secret information on CBS News’ Face the Nation. He was reacting after having attended a Pentagon classified briefing on the Iran War’s impact on stockpiled weapons.

You may have seen me ask the Secretary of Defense this question about how long it’s going to take to replenish. We’re talking about years.”

He says it’ll take years to replenish those stockpiles, which could affect a hypothetical US conflict with China.
