What was the Iran war?

The story mentions the US military using up supplies during the 'Iran war', which is a bit misleading. While the US has had tensions and military actions involving Iran, there hasn't been a full-scale 'Iran war' in the same way as, say, the Iraq War. This detail in the summary likely refers to various US military engagements in the Middle East where Iran was a factor.
