U.S. WAR IN IRAN STRAINS MUNITIONS STOCKPILES
Heavy U.S. weapons use during Operation Epic Fury has caused strategic inventory shortages and exposed production bottlenecks, according to the Pentagon inspector general.
The Pentagon estimated $22.3 billion in munitions had been used by late June, with total war costs exceeding $33 billion.
Officials are now accelerating procurement and stockpiling critical materials to rebuild supplies.
