Why would anyone admit this
these ‘sources’ might be long serving people from the military frustrated with the new leadership.
there is still a few people from before the trump administration in the higher up military aparatus not yet fired and replaced by some cousin or something who still have contacts to established journalist like this.
To drum up a call for more money.

Backward propaganda?
“The US is so weak right now! We just totally botched this conflict! We haven’t accomplished anything and now we’re out of munitions… oh man what a mess!”
What would be the point of saying that deliberately?
Admittedly, I don’t know what the reason is, but a more plausible explanation to me would be if it’s simply not the kind of thing they can hide.

I had a propaganda at your mum lol
The sources interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Ok. So we’d probably best not tell anyone then. That could be interesting information to, you know, enemies and stuff.
Good. Maybe they will stop killing people now?
Nope.
Cluster bombs, white phosphor, maybe a few “tactical” nukes.
All out of precision means they don’t have to answer about their aim when the hospitals and schools start blowing up.
Bingo. This is the reason, and it’s fairly transparent imo.
They’re laying down the pathetically depressing (in all connotations) path to wring their hands and start to justify atrocities with the economy (uh, even further, that is):
“We had to defend ourselves and the Iranians forced our hands, it would have cost too much to fabricate new precision munitions and risked Jim-Bob’s farm, hell, all of our livelihoods”.
(Jim-Bob here being a “poor farmer” plant in the discourse to move Middle America. In reality, Jim-Bob is in Wisconsin two weeks out of the year, lives in a NY penthouse, and most of his money doesn’t come from his multi-state AG operation but from the kickbacks and money laundering of subsidies).
I guess that’s one way to adapt your forces to the incoming subservience of the puppets-turned-would-be-puppeteers. Gotta have the Iowa cornfield boys used to the ways of 3000 year old promises.
They can pivot the excuses, blame the companies that make them for being slow in building more. “We had to use something, all we had left were nukes. Not OUR fault.”
