The Pentagon has acknowledged an "ammunition shortage" in the context of the ongoing conflict with Iran, according to information reported in coverage published by France 24 on September 15, 2026.
According to this continuous coverage of the Middle East situation, this statement comes in a context marked by American military involvement on multiple fronts, particularly against Houthi rebels in Yemen, in a climate of heightened tensions with Tehran.
