BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 8. A senior Pentagon official says the US military has sufficient munitions for its ongoing war against Iran, despite reports that stocks of key air-defence weapons have been depleted by the conflict.
Jarred Conley, principal deputy director at the US Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), said the military currently has the weapons and ammunition required for its operations.
“We have sufficient munitions for the task at hand,” Conley said in an interview. “The department has everything it needs today to execute a war.”
His comments follow reports that US inventories of critical air-defence systems, including ballistic missile interceptors, have declined as a result of their extensive use during the conflict.
The remarks come amid broader concerns over whether prolonged military operations could place additional pressure on US weapons stockpiles and defence production capacity.
