The U.S. war with Iran has already cost the Pentagon $38.1 billion by August 1—with monthly expenses adding $2 to $3 billion more. A huge portion went toward replacing depleted missiles and ammo, while missile defense interceptors have plummeted by up to two-thirds since June 2025, partly due to supporting Israel. Rebuilding those stocks could take five years even at full production—posing a serious threat if tensions flare with China over Taiwan. The Pentagon’s inspector general confirms similar figures, noting Iranian strikes damaged hundreds of bases and aircraft across eight Middle Eastern nations. This conflict is draining both cash and critical military assets, demanding long-term strategy and planning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
