Pentagon admits ammunition shortage due to war against Iran

Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 08:04

The Pentagon officially admitted an ammunition shortage as a direct result of the ongoing military conflict against Iran. The confession comes at a time of growing pressure on American armed forces.

According to a report by the Pentagon's Inspector-General, the military operation designated "Epic Fury" cost approximately $33.4 billion, equivalent to about 31.2 billion euros, in the period between February 28 and June 30. This value represents the significant financial impact of the conflict on the United States' military structure.

Why this matters

The Pentagon report reveals that the operation against Iran consumed massive financial resources, leaving American forces with ammunition deficits. This situation could influence the United States' ability to maintain large-scale military operations in the future and raises questions about the sustainability of prolonged military interventions in the Middle East.
