Two people familiar with the matter revealed to the “Washington Post” that last week, President Donald Trump was dissatisfied with the war in Iran and asked Secretary of Defense Pete Hugseth at Camp David why he was clearly misled. The serious shortage of ammunition may now limit the military options the US can take against Iran. According to two sources familiar with the conversation, the clash occurred on the sidelines of the Camp David cabinet meeting on Friday. Trump lost his temper at Hegseth, saying he thought the ammunition issue was “solved.” The above sources and other relevant personnel all chose to be interviewed anonymously for fear of reprisals. One of the sources said that the shortage of long-range guided missiles and anti-aircraft interceptor bombs is part of the reason why Trump recently suspended a new round of large-scale attacks on Iran. Trump said on Monday that he had ordered “the largest attack since World War II” and then cancelled the operation, awaiting progress in a new round of negotiations related to the Strait of Hormuz. Although the United States has reached new production agreements for some key ammunition, the production cycle for this type of ammunition can be as long as two years, and there is no hope that the current shortage of ammunition will ease in the short term. The Washington Post previously reported that in the first month of the war alone, the US military launched more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles, as well as more than 1,000 Patriots and Saad interceptor bombs.
