US watchdog tallies Iran war’s hit to weapons stockpiles, military bases and more
The U.S. government watchdog released its first report on the impact of the Iran war on Monday, providing a comprehensive accounting of the conflict's costs in American lives, taxpayer dollars, and physical damage. The report, which covers April 1 to June 30, revealed strategic inventory shortfalls and industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply due to advanced weapons.
It also acknowledged that Iranian strikes damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures at U.S. bases in several Middle Eastern countries, including dozens of American aircraft and drones destroyed or damaged. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had previously stated that the war had cost $37.5 billion so far.
