Resumen

The Pentagon’s inspector general issued its initial formal report on equipment losses, facility damage, and diplomatic effects from the Iran conflict covering February to June 2026, which was partially confirmed. Reports on September 22, 2026, stating that the U.S. lost or damaged dozens of aircraft including drones and manned platforms since the war began have insufficient evidence. Government analyses estimating that the Iran war has cost the Defense Department $38 billion and contributed to inflation were partially confirmed.
