Trump questions Pentagon over US ammunition reserves following Iran operations
Reports indicate heavy US missile usage during operations against Iran has depleted stockpiles, prompting internal reviews while the White House denies shortages.
US President Donald Trump reportedly questioned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a cabinet meeting at Camp David over significantly depleted ammunition stockpiles following military operations against Iran. Media reports indicate that heavy usage of advanced precision-guided weapons, including ATACMS, PrSM, Patriot, and THAAD missiles, has raised concerns regarding military readiness for potential future conflicts.
The White House denied claims of critical shortages, with Trump publicly dismissing the reports and stating that the military retains sufficient supplies.
Separately, Trump introduced measures restricting birthright citizenship. The updated rules target birth tourism and apply to children of individuals associated with foreign governments or designated terrorist organizations.
