The Trump administration is denying reports that critical US munition stockpiles have been severely depleted by a conflict with Iran. While President Trump publicly claims the US has massive supplies and is expanding production, reports indicate shortages of long-range precision missiles and air defense interceptors. This has led to internal tensions, including clashes between President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and efforts to identify leakers of the information.
