The United States Central Command organized a meeting of senior commanders at a conference in Germany. The attendees included the army chiefs of Israel and seven Arab states. Agenda items covered the ongoing war with Iran. A congressional report estimates the conflict cost the Pentagon 38 billion dollars while straining missile stockpiles. The report 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.
