Pentagon to Invest in New Munitions Amid Iran Conflict

The Pentagon is considering a supplemental funding request to replace weapons expended in Iran, with a focus on buying new equipment and munitions. The department’s chief financial officer said the request may involve new types of equipment, not just legacy systems. Pentagon officials say they have enough munitions for now, but are looking at options to procure more. The department is eyeing deals with vendors to refill stockpiles and is working with congressional appropriators to ensure they have the information to conduct oversight.
