  "account": "President Donald Trump, on Thursday, dismissed reports of dwindling American ammunition supplies and issued a warning of further strikes against Iran if necessary. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that the United States possessed \"virtually unlimited amounts of Mid to High Grade Ammunition, far more than we could ever use for this, or for any other War (which is highly unlikely!)\". The statement was echoed by the official White House account on X, following the recent US attacks on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz and the subsequent retaliation by Iran. Trump claimed that the US had destroyed new Iranian equipment along the strategic waterway and maintained strong control over Hormuz, despite Tehran's assertions that it had effectively sealed the chokepoint. The president also dismissed calls for Iran to return to negotiations, asserting that the US position was now stronger, with \"almost total control\" of Hormuz and Iran's economy \"totally collapsing\". Iran reported at least 18 deaths and over 100 injuries, including a strike claimed to have hit a wedding gathering in southern Iran. The US denied targeting civilians. This incident marked the most direct confrontation between the two nations since July, raising concerns about further escalation in a conflict that has already disrupted global energy supplies for months.",
