An official report by U.S. government oversight bodies has been published, saying that the war with Iran has led to “strategic shortages” in the stockpiles of some advanced U.S. weapons.
The first official report by U.S. government inspection bodies on “Operation True Fury,” which was publicly released on Monday, September 23, says that the extensive use of munitions in the war with Iran “has led to strategic shortages in inventories and has revealed bottlenecks in the industrial base for replenishing important ammunition.”
Based on this assessment, the Pentagon is working to address the problem by reducing the weapons procurement process and production time, increasing stocks of critical materials and parts and some munitions so that, in emergencies, production can be ramped up rapidly.
The report also shows that the U.S. has spent about $33.4 billion on the war as of June 29 (8 Tir). Nearly two-thirds of that amount is attributed to munitions used, and $3.7 billion is allocated to lost equipment. According to the report, another $7.4 billion is listed under other costs.
In late July (early Mordad), U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had announced the war’s costs up to that point as $37.5 billion. NBC News previously also reported, citing officials and people familiar with internal estimates, that when broader costs are included, the true figure of the war could reach $80 to $100 billion.
On Monday, coinciding with the release of the assessment report on “Operation True Fury,” U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social that the United States is now producing advanced weapons more than at any other time in its history, and that these systems are being delivered to U.S. forces in the Middle East and other regions on a daily basis.
