According to CoinMeta, and as exclusively reported by The Guardian in the UK on the 27th local time, the US military operations against Iran have plunged the US forces into a "severe financial crisis." The US Navy has been forced to divert funds from salaries and other sources to cover the costs of combat. The report states that the joint military actions by the US and Israel against Iran have placed tremendous pressure on the overall budget of the US military. These military operations have led to the depletion of the US military's ammunition reserves and triggered retaliatory strikes from Iran, which have caused damage to several strategic bases of the US military in the Middle East.
