Trump Denies US Ammunition Shortages Amid Iran Conflict Despite Official Concerns
US President Donald Trump dismissed reports that ongoing military operations against Iran are depleting US missile and ammunition stockpiles, asserting the country has more munitions than needed. While officials and analysts acknowledge concerns over shrinking inventories of Patriot interceptors and other missile systems, military leaders like US Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper believe current supplies remain manageable. The US has paused planned strikes on Iran amid these concerns and diplomatic efforts, but Trump maintains readiness for future operations.
