US media reports Trump was misled on ammunition reserve issues, venting frustration at Defense Secretary

Odaily News – According to the Washington Post, two sources familiar with the matter revealed that Trump's frustration over the Iran war erupted at Camp David last week, where he confronted Defense Secretary Hegseth over why he had been clearly misled on critical ammunition shortages—an issue now threatening to limit military options against Iran. The confrontation took place on the sidelines of a Cabinet meeting at Camp David last Friday. Trump vented his displeasure at Hegseth, stating he believed the ammunition issue had "long been resolved." Hegseth defended himself and blamed his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, for the shortages, accusing him of failing to ensure Trump was fully informed. One source said the ammunition shortages—particularly of long-range guided missiles and air defense interceptors—were part of the reason Trump canceled a new large-scale strike on Iran in recent days. An informed source said the stockpile of ATACMS—a short-range missile also urgently needed by Ukraine—has been depleted, with essentially none remaining. (Jinshi)
