What happened
President Donald Trump said the U.S. has “massive amounts” of munitions and vowed to seek long prison terms for “treasonous” leakers, rejecting accounts that the Iran war has depleted key missile stockpiles. The dispute followed accounts that Trump confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Camp David over shortages and whether he had been misled about available weapons. Officials and analysts cited heavy use of long-range precision weapons, including ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles, during the 160-day Iran war. The shortages have raised concerns about U.S. readiness for a potential conflict in Asia.
