Trump confronted Hegseth over weapons shortage due to Iran war? US president reacts

Trump said that the United States has an abundant supply of munitions. He also warned that those spreading claims about shortages could face prison.

According to The Washington Post, Trump demanded to know why he had apparently been misled about shortages of key missiles and air-defence systems, which have now begun limiting America's military options in the Iran conflict.

Trump is reported to have clashed with his defence secretary last week over why he had apparently been misled about the extreme depletion of key US missiles, which threatens to limit military options against Iran.
