Pentagon Dispute Over Missile Shortage
The article discusses the crisis of the United States' military stockpiles of missiles and ammunition, following months of war with Iran, which has impacted the U.S. ability to carry out extensive strikes against Iran. The report revealed that President Trump was angered upon learning of the significant depletion of the stockpiles, especially regarding interceptor cruise missiles and defensive missiles, leading to a halt in broad targeting operations against Iran. In response, urgent meetings were held to address the shortage, amid warnings that manufacturing some types of missiles could take up to two years to resume, and that the shortage is also affecting support for Ukraine in facing Russian attacks. The U.S. administration denies reports of internal disagreements over these stockpiles, affirming that Trump trusts the Secretary of Defense, and emphasizing that the shortage has prompted a change in response strategies to threats. It also noted that the missile launch share was among the largest since the start of the war.
