WP: Trump abandoned new strikes on Iran due to a lack of missiles
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, is dissatisfied with the state of American munitions, and their shortage has become one of the reasons for abandoning new strikes against Iran. This follows a publication by The Washington Post. Later, Trump threatened long prison sentences for those who spread reports of an alleged shortage of munitions in the country. The Washington Post, citing two anonymous sources, reported that during a cabinet meeting at Camp David on July 31, Trump demanded that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth explain why he had been misled about the munitions deficit. According to the publication, the president believed that the weapons issue had already been resolved. The newspaper claims that the shortage of long-range missiles and surface-to-air missile interceptors was one of the reasons Trump abandoned new large-scale strikes against Iran. After the publication was released, Trump wrote on Truth Social that those who spread claims about the shortage of munitions were being sought. "We are looking for those who spread these claims, equivalent to treason. They will face long prison sentences!" he stated. The American leader also reported that the U.S. has a "huge amount" of munitions, and the American defense industry is building "the largest number of factories in the country's history." The White House and the Pentagon denied the information in The Washington Post publication. White House Press Secretary Carolina Livitt called the material "100 percent fake news" and stated that Trump fully trusted Hegseth. Pentagon Press Secretary Sean Parnell also rejected the newspaper's information, calling reports of depleted weapon stocks, internal disagreements, and the Defense Secretary's position on Iran fabrications. At the end of July, Trump denied Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky's request to transfer 300 missiles for Patriot systems to Kyiv. The Ukrainian leader hoped to receive the missiles as part of a plan that would allow the country to survive another winter. Trump explained his decision by saying that Ukraine could begin acting against the U.S.
Recall that at the end of February, the U.S. began a military operation against Iran in conjunction with Israel, striking military facilities and sites related to Tehran's nuclear program. In response, Iran attacked American military bases in the Persian Gulf countries. In April, the U.S. and Iran agreed to a temporary ceasefire; however, at the beginning of July, Trump announced the end of the truce. A few days later, Washington imposed a naval blockade against Iran. A new escalation of tension occurred on July 8 after American military strikes on Iranian territory in response to an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, and by August 3, Trump announced new negotiations with Iran.
