The United States Central Command hosted a gathering of military leaders at a conference in Germany. The attendees included the chiefs of staff of Israel and seven Arab states. Discussions focused on the conflict with Iran. A congressional report estimates the conflict has cost the Pentagon 38 billion dollars while straining missile stockpiles. According to the report, the war drained U.S. missile reserves. The conference gave top military officials from all eight countries a chance to discuss the war and align next moves.
