Pentagon watchdog says war on Iran led to 'strategic' US munitions shortfalls A report by the Pentagon’s inspector general on the impact of the US war 0n Iran found that munitions used during the four-month campaign caused inventory shortfalls and exposed bottlenecks for munitions resupply. The Defense Department’s inspector general released the first report on the war with Iran, covering 1 April through 30 June. According to the Pentagon watchdog, munitions expenditure during the war "has resulted in strategic inventory shortfalls and revealed industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply". To mitigate the constraints, the report said that the Pentagon is "working to streamline procurement processes and production lead times and to stockpile critical materials, components and selected munitions to respond rapidly to a contingency". US President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have repeatedly denied media reports over depleted arms stockpiles. However, the latest report estimated the cost of the war on Iran at $33.4 billion as of 29 June, including $22.3 billion for expended munitions and $3.7 billion in equipment losses based on replacement cost.

Morning update Good morning Middle East Eye readers, Here are the latest developments:  A report by the Pentagon’s inspector general on the impact of the US war 0n Iran found that munitions used during the four-month campaign caused "strategic inventory shortfalls" and "revealed industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply". Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it intercepted and destroyed an advanced MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz. The Tasnim news agency cited the IRGC as saying that the aircraft was  targeted on Monday by the country's advanced air defence system. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said US President Donald Trump was sending "mixed" signals. "The stakes around oil and the straits have changed. Damage control won’t stop what’s coming. No talks until Iran’s conditions are met. Period!" he added in a post on X. Saudi-led coalition air strikes in Yemen's south western Taiz province killed three people, including two children, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported. Two others were wounded in the attacks.

He was subsequently rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where he later succumbed to his injuries. 

Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Hélène Duguy, Senior Environmental Lawyer at ClientEarth. PFAS pollution is widespread, these highly persistent chemicals have been detected in water and soil, food and consumer products, and even the human body. The risks are increasingly well documented, alternatives now exist for many uses, and there is an extensive regulatory framework that is in place. Duguy argues that the central problem is therefore not simply a lack of scientific knowledge or legislation, but rather weak enforcement, slow regulation and corporate resistance. And so hazardous chemicals remain in circulation even when restrictions exist.
