Missile shortages, damage to US facilities: Pentagon watchdog issues first review of Iran war

The Pentagon's official watchdog released a special report about the Iran war on Monday, representing the Defense Department's first formal accounting of US equipment and facility losses from the conflict.

The inspector general, citing its communications with US Central Command, said that "Iranian strikes damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures at US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Jordan" during the war's first months. The report, which covers the start of the war on February 28 through June 30, also acknowledged the depletion of key US munition stockpiles.
