Trump Denies Ammunition Shortages and Says U.S. Military Is Ready to Face Iran

Donald Trump says the United States has no ammunition problem. In a post on social media, the U.S. president described the country’s supplies of medium- and high-quality munitions as “almost unlimited,” saying they far exceed what would be needed for military operations against Iran or any other war Washington might fight.

Trump was responding to reports in U.S. media that stocks of some types of ammunition had fallen. He sharply attacked the journalists who circulated those reports. At the same time, he said the United States continues to produce ammunition at a high rate, with military manufacturing still working to supply the armed forces and maintain stock levels.

The president also used the discussion of military spending to revisit aid sent under his predecessor, Joe Biden, to Ukraine and several NATO countries. Trump claimed that weapons and ammunition worth hundreds of billions of dollars had been sent for free. He said he planned to seek repayment, while acknowledging that the effort came “a little late.”

Almost unlimited.

His comments came amid the continuing consequences of the military confrontation involving the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other, which began on Feb. 28, 2026. The fighting brought major developments, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil shipments and global trade.

Iran responded with attacks on Gulf countries and sites it said were linked to the United States and Israel in the region. The parties later moved toward a ceasefire. On June 18, Washington and Tehran reached a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the fighting and reopening the strait, but disputes over implementation and security guarantees later obstructed the agreement.

A little late.
