Missile impossible: Trump's Iran war runs into dwindling arsenal?
A reported clash between Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over dwindling missile and munitions stocks reportedly led to Trump calling off a major attack on Iran. The confrontation occurred at Camp David after Trump learned of the dangerously low levels of key military supplies, despite earlier assurances that the issue had been resolved.
Hegseth blamed Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg for failing to inform both the Pentagon and Trump about the shortages, leading to an emergency Pentagon meeting to address the issue. The White House and Pentagon denied the report, with Trump claiming the U.S. has "massive amounts" of munitions and new factories being built to produce more.
Analysts note that while American forces have fired thousands of missiles and missiles during the Iran campaign, the depletion of advanced munitions exposes the challenges in replenishing them quickly due to limited production capacity and complex supply chains.
