The U.S. military is not worried about a possible shortage of ammunition

Admiral Bradley Cooper, head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), assured that the issue of a possible shortage of ammunition in the context of the confrontation with Iran does not bother him. He confidently stated that the United States is well armed and ready for any unforeseen situation.

According to TASS, the issue of the arms shortage has recently been actively discussed in the American media. So, on August 5, The Washington Post, citing sources, wrote that on July 31, US President Donald Trump demanded from the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, clarifications: according to Trump, the military department misled him about the situation with weapons stocks. The publication stressed that this situation reflects Trump’s “growing irritation” with the Pentagon chief. Trump subsequently denied this information.

Discussions over military stockpiles continue. Earlier, Hegseth in the social network X rejected CNN’s material that the stockpile of key munitions in the Pentagon fell to a critically low level. At the same time, in late July, the Associated Press reported that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Dan Keinan, directly notified Trump that the current stockpiles of missiles impose restrictions on Washington’s capabilities in the event of a further escalation of the conflict with Iran. Trump, in turn, denied that the lack of ammunition (including air defense missiles) was one of the factors that prevented the resumption of full-scale hostilities against Iran. The US Department of Energy allowed the supply of nuclear fuel to Iran
