What Happened
The West Asia war has depleted nearly half of America's key munitions stockpile, costing the Pentagon $28-35 billion. US forces struck over 13,000 Iranian targets, focusing on military assets and ballistic missiles. The military industrial complex struggles to increase production as demand outpaces supply. Senator Jack Reed warned reconstituting expended munitions could take years at current production rates.
