Trump Denies US Ammunition Shortage, Claims Iran Is Running Out of Missiles
Digital Desk
US President Donald Trump rejects reports of dwindling US weapons stockpiles, saying America has ample ammunition while claiming Iran is running out of missiles amid ongoing tensions.
US President Donald Trump has dismissed reports suggesting that America's military operations against Iran are straining its weapons stockpiles, asserting that the United States possesses "far more munitions than anyone in the world" and faces no shortage of ammunition.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump rejected media reports that ongoing operations in West Asia had increased pressure on key missile inventories, including Patriot air defence missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and SM-3 interceptors.
"We have far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need," Trump said.
Reports Raise Inventory Questions
Recent reports by The Wall Street Journal and CNN suggested that the pace of US offensive strikes and missile defence operations had prompted military officials to closely monitor supplies of advanced interceptor systems.
However, according to the reports, US Central Command officials believe current stockpiles remain sufficient while pre-emptive strikes against Iranian missile sites could reduce future demand for interceptors.
Trump Says Iran Is Losing Capability
Rejecting concerns over US military supplies, Trump instead claimed Iran's missile capabilities were rapidly weakening due to sustained American and Israeli operations.
"They're running out, and they're running out of areas to shoot them because they're being decimated," Trump said, referring to Iran's missile launch infrastructure.
AI Images Shared on Social Media
Trump also shared several AI-generated images on his social media platform, Truth Social, depicting attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure and oil tankers.
The digitally created posts included fictional images of strikes on Kharg Island, Iran's primary crude oil export terminal, and graphics suggesting the seizure of Iranian oil tankers. The posts do not depict actual events.
The remarks signal the administration's continued hardline approach toward Tehran amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing military operations.
