[Vance Questions Pentagon's Claims, Concerned About Rapid Depletion of U.S. Missile Stockpile] According to a report by Golden Finance on April 28, citing *The Atlantic*, U.S. Vice President Vance repeatedly questioned the Department of Defense's description of the Iran war during a closed-door meeting and suspected that the Pentagon might be downplaying the severity of the rapid depletion of U.S. missile stockpiles. Two senior government officials stated that Vance raised doubts about the accuracy of the war information provided by the Pentagon. Multiple informed sources revealed that he also expressed concerns about the availability of certain missile systems during discussions with President Trump. The consequences of a sharp reduction in ammunition reserves could be catastrophic. Previously, U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Kane publicly stated that the U.S. weapons stockpile remains sufficient, claiming that after eight weeks of combat, Iran's military has suffered significant losses.
