The United States Department of Defense acknowledged, in a report published on Monday, a "shortage" of ammunition linked to the war against Iran, a finding that the US government had until now refused to confirm.
The report, which addresses the military capabilities of the United States, comes at a time when American Armed Forces have used a significant volume of weapons and ammunition in the conflict in the Middle East.
The admission contrasts with the previous positions of the North American administration, which had avoided publicly confirming the existence of problems in the supply of ammunition for military operations.
This recognition may have significant implications for the military strategy of the United States in the region and for decisions regarding the future of operations against Iran.
