USA depleting years' worth of munitions in weeks amid Iran war escalation
The United States has reportedly exhausted ammunition reserves that were sufficient for several months, consuming enough stockpiles to last "years" within just two or three weeks. This alarming rate is driven by the ongoing conflict with Iran and represents a significant strain on American military logistics as costs of fighting rise rapidly. Reports from multiple sources indicate US forces are burning through billions worth of ordnance at an unsustainable pace since war began in earnest against Tehran's nuclear facilities earlier this month.
