The U.S. Defense Department inspector general reported strategic munitions shortfalls and defense-industrial bottlenecks after more than $22 billion in weapons spending during the war with Iran, challenging President Donald Trump’s repeated assertions that U.S. supplies are virtually unlimited. The watchdog estimated total U.S. war spending at $33.4 billion from February 28 through June 30, including $3.7 billion in equipment losses and $7.4 billion in other expenditures. It also documented damage to regional installations and diplomatic facilities, aircraft and drone losses, and Pentagon efforts to accelerate procurement and production; CSIS estimated that some Patriot and THAAD interceptor stocks had fallen by more than half.
