在马萨诸塞州雷神公司总部看到的美国爱国者防空系统在伊朗战争中得到了大量使用。
The US defence department's inspector general says the war with Iran has led to "shortfalls" in munitions and a bottleneck in resupply, contradicting President Donald Trump who has repeatedly denied the US is facing shortages.
美国国防部监察长表示，与伊朗的战争导致了弹药的"短缺"和补给的瓶颈，与唐纳德特朗普总统相矛盾，唐纳德特朗普一再否认美国正面临短缺。
Trump has claimed US munitions supplies are "virtually unlimited" and said reporting otherwise is "fake news".
特朗普声称美国弹药供应"几乎是无限的"，并表示否则报道是"假新闻"。
But the independent watchdog said the US spent more than $22 billion on munitions from February through June, leading to "strategic inventory shortfalls".
但独立监督机构表示，美国从2月到6月在弹药上花费了超过220亿美元，导致"战略库存短缺"。
When asked about the watchdog's report, the White House said the US had "more than enough" munitions.

Previous estimates have painted a dire picture of the US shortages.
此前的估计描绘了美国短缺的可怕景象。
Over the course of the war, US forces have expended vast quantities of both long-range ground attack systems and the air and missile defences used to intercept incoming Iranian attacks.
在战争过程中，美国军队花费了大量的远程地面攻击系统以及用于拦截伊朗袭击的空中和导弹防御系统。
A late July estimate from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, or CSIS, found that stocks of some interceptors - such as the Patriot missile and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD - were significantly depleted, in some cases by more than half.
战略和国际研究中心（CSIS）7月下旬的估计发现，一些拦截器的库存-例如爱国者导弹和终端高空区域防御，或THAAD-显着耗尽，在某些情况下超过一半。
The inspector general's report did not disclose exactly how many of the weapons remain.

It did, however, note the inventory shortfalls and reveal "industrial base bottlenecks" for munitions resupply.
然而，它确实注意到库存短缺，并揭示了弹药补给的"工业基础瓶颈"。
The report added that the defence department is now working to "streamline procurement processes and production lead times" to address the shortages and "respond rapidly to a contingency".
该报告补充说，国防部目前正在努力"简化采购流程和生产交货时间"，以解决短缺问题并"迅速应对突发事件"。
The White House has rejected the watchdog's assessment.

"The United States military has more than enough munitions, ammo, and stockpiles to serve all of the Commander-in-Chief's strategic goals and beyond," spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement on Tuesday.
发言人安娜凯利周二在一份声明中说："美国军方拥有足够的弹药，弹药和库存来满足总司令的所有战略目标及其后目标。"
Trump and other administration officials have also sought to cast reports of shortages as false and "treasonous".
特朗普和其他政府官员也试图将短缺的报道视为虚假和"叛国"。
In a 4 August X post, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth described news reporting on the shortages as "not true".

The watchdog's report also notes that equipment losses have totalled $3.7bn, with other $7.4bn in other expenditures. Overall, the US spent $33.4bn (£24.7bn) on the war from 28 Feb to 30 Jun.
监管机构的报告还指出，设备损失总额为37亿美元，其他支出为74亿美元。 总体而言，美国在2月28日至6月30日的战争中花费了334亿美元（247亿英镑）。
A separate estimate released on Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office put the total cost of the war at higher at $38bn, which includes replaced expended munitions and equipment lost in battle, increased flying hours and greater fuel costs.
美国国会预算办公室(Congressional Budget Office)周二公布的一项单独估计显示，这场战争的总成本高达380亿美元，其中包括在战斗中损失的弹药和装备的更换、飞行时间的增加和燃料成本的增加。
Among the losses have been four F-15e fighter jets, a highly advanced F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and 30 MQ-9 drones destroyed in "various circumstances".
在损失中有四架F-15e战斗机，一架高度先进的F-35联合打击战斗机和30架mq-9无人机在"各种情况下"被摧毁。
When US and Israeli strikes began, Trump repeatedly said that the conflict would be over within weeks.

Polls show that the war is unpopular among Americans.
