The last major Pentagon briefing on the war was in early May. The Trump administration has failed to disclose how the Iran war has drained U.S. supplies of critical, costly weapons and how Iran retained and rebuilt substantial missile capabilities.
- Pentagon Transparency Questions — Questions have arisen regarding the Pentagon's transparency about the true scope of U.S. casualties in the Middle East.
