The U.S. media have been misled and dissatisfied about Trump's ammunition stockpile

On 6 August, according to the Washington Post, two informed sources revealed that Trump's frustration with the Iranian war broke out last week at Camp David, questioning Defense Minister Högseis why he was being demonstrably misled about the critical ammunition shortage — an issue that is now threatening to limit military options to Iran. The confrontation took place last Friday in the margins of the David Camp Cabinet meeting. Trump complained to Hegess that he believed that the munitions issue was “already resolved”. Hegesses defended himself and blamed his deputy Stephen Feinberg for the shortfall, accusing him of failing to ensure that Trump was fully informed. According to one source, the shortage of ammunition, in particular long-range guided missiles and anti-aircraft interceptors, is part of the recent cancellation of a new wave of massive strikes against Iran by Trump. According to an informed source, the stocks of ATACMS — a short-range missile that is also urgently needed in Ukraine — have been depleted and have largely no surplus. Kim Xian
