Trump denies U.S. running low on some munitions, says vast resupplies being made

President Trump is taking issue with recent reports of significant U.S. munitions shortages due to the war with Iran.

President Trump dismissed claims of significant U.S. munitions shortages caused by the Iran war in a post on his Truth Social platform. He stated that the U.S. possesses vast amounts of munitions, particularly of specific types. Furthermore, the manufacturing of these munitions and their shipment to the U.S. is ongoing as required.

Defense companies are reportedly constructing the greatest number of plants and factories in the nation's history. Leakers of these allegedly false statements are being pursued, with severe punishment anticipated. According to two CBS News sources, the U.S. has utilized nearly all of its global stockpile of long-range precision missiles during the war, including all of its Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles.

The White House denied reports of a heated exchange between Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the munitions situation.
