Bloomberg pointed to the Pentagon's restriction of access to reports on weapons tests.

The Pentagon has closed public access to annual unclassified reports on weapons tests over the past 25 years, explaining the decision by the need to strengthen operational security. This was reported by Bloomberg on August 5.

"This is a proactive measure aimed at strengthening the operational security of the United States," the department said in a statement.

The ministry believes that foreign adversaries can use artificial intelligence and other modern technologies to analyze disparate unclassified data and create "detailed vulnerability profiles" affecting critical infrastructure and U.S. defense capabilities. The reports have been transferred to a secure system and are now available only to authorized users with a military Common Access Card, the article notes.

The reports were considered one of the main open sources of information on the implementation of major US defense programs, including the F-35 fighter jet project worth $1.6 trillion.

Despite Trump's furious statements, Tehran retains the ability to control the Strait of Hormuz.

On the same day, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called reports that the US military had exhausted about 80% of its reserves of interceptor missiles false. The reason for this statement was information from the CNN television channel related to the warning of the United States about the "dangerously low" level of ammunition stocks for air defense systems.
