The United States Department of Defense acknowledged, in a report published on Monday, a "shortage" of ammunition linked to the war against Iran. This finding marks a significant change in the position of the US government, which until now had refused to publicly confirm this information. The report represents the first official admission by the Pentagon regarding ammunition supply problems related to the conflict. The publication of this document comes at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, where the United States has been involved in military operations against Iran.
