Concerns Over U.S. Military Stockpile Durability in the War with Iran
March 10, 2026
The U.S. government reported that the ammunition costs in the first two days of the war with Iran reached $5.6 billion. There are concerns in Congress about the potential depletion of American stockpiles due to increased demand. President Trump met with defense industry officials to discuss replenishing supplies. However, the government has not provided an official estimate for the total cost of the war. Lawmakers expect additional funding requests soon that may exceed $50 billion.
