Congressional report details inflation and munitions strain due to Iran conflict
A Congressional Budget Office report indicates that the ongoing conflict with Iran is increasing inflation and depleting U.S. munitions stockpiles. The report estimates the war's cost at $38 billion and projects a 0.5 percentage point rise in inflation by early 2027, while also noting it could take up to five years to replenish munitions. The findings come amid growing criticism of the Trump administration's handling of the war.
