The United States Central Command convened a gathering of military leaders during a gathering in Germany. The attendees included the chiefs of staff of Israel and seven Arab states. The talks centered on the ongoing war with Iran. A report by lawmakers estimates the conflict has cost the Pentagon 38 billion dollars and strained missile stockpiles. The assessment says the war has drained U.S. missile reserves. The conference gave top military officials from all eight countries a chance to talk through the conflict and align next moves.
