Trump denies U.S. munitions shortage reports and says leakers are being pursued

President Donald J. Trump dismissed on Thursday reports that the U.S. military was short on munitions amid a purported war with Iran. In a post on Truth Social, the former president said his administration was “determining who leaked the information to news outlets” and that the allegations were unfounded. He added that the U.S. “has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types,” and that large quantities are currently being manufactured and shipped.

Trump’s remarks come after a wave of media coverage claiming that U.S. forces were running low on ammunition in the context of escalating tensions with Iran. He emphasized that the U.S. inventory is robust and that production lines are operating at full capacity. The post did not provide specific figures or identify which munitions were in question, but it reiterated confidence in the nation’s defense readiness.

The statement underscores the administration’s stance that the U.S. is not experiencing a shortage of war materiel and that any claims of depletion are the result of a leak. An investigation into the source of the information is reportedly underway, but no further details have been released at this time.
