Trump rejects reports of ammunition shortages

US President Donald Trump denied reports of ammunition shortages in the war against Iran and threatened journalists who published such claims with long prison sentences. In his online platform Truth Social, Trump stated that the US military has 'huge amounts of ammunition, especially certain types.' Earlier reports by US media suggested a shortage of missiles had prevented Trump from launching further attacks on Iran. According to a report by The Washington Post, Trump confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the lack of munitions, believing the issues had been resolved. The report indicated that Trump had to cancel planned new attacks on Iran due to dwindling supplies after previously threatening to 'very harshly' attack Tehran. CNN reported that a shortage of long-range and anti-missile rockets had affected Trump's strategy in the war against Iran. The US military has reportedly used nearly 80% of its stockpile of THAAD anti-missile rockets, which are the second most important technology for air defense after the Patriot system. Trump warned that journalists who published these 'treacherous statements' would be 'hunted,' and long prison sentences would be sought. WhiteHouse
