A report by The New York Times, cited by Amader Desh on April 24, 2026, states that a large portion of the United States’ global weapons stockpile has been exhausted due to the ongoing war with Iran. The Pentagon has reportedly been forced to transfer military equipment from its Asia and European commands to the Middle East to sustain operations.

Although White House officials have not disclosed the exact expenditure, two independent organizations estimate the cost of the Iran war to be between 28 and 35 billion dollars, averaging about 1 billion dollars per day. The report highlights that key weapons running low include precision-strike missiles, ATACMS surface-launched missiles, and Patriot interceptor missiles.

The depletion of these critical munitions underscores the strain on US military logistics and could affect readiness in other regions if the conflict continues.
