“The United States has huge amounts of ammunition, it is not true that we have run out” and “there was no clash with the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.” Donald Trump attacked the Washington Post and the American media who in recent days had described the difficulties of the US forces in the war in Iran and the tensions within the administration.

With the war now in its sixth month, the United States has had to scale back its objectives and now aims primarily to reopen Hormuz, postponing issues such as the Iranian nuclear program to later negotiations. There is anticipation for the resumption of navigation which should follow the preliminary agreement between Iran and Oman reached Wednesday evening. Trump on Wednesday night from Las Vegas referred to “an imminent agreement.” However, Tehran also specified yesterday that the United States is not part of the agreement and that “the mapping of routes agreed with Oman does not entail the full reopening of the Strait.”
An additional obstacle to the reactivation of maritime routes and peace is also represented by the Houthis, the Yemeni militia supported by Iran that yesterday attacked the forces of the Yemeni government supported by Saudi Arabia, fueling fears that the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran could extend to become a regional-scale conflict.

Yesterday Trump again claimed that “Iran wants a deal” and that it is ready to order a massive attack even though it would prefer not to. Then he pulled out some of his hyperboles to reassure everyone about the disagreements in the administration: “I am extremely satisfied with the work Pete Hegseth is doing,” he declared on social media before praising the American industry: “We have huge amounts of ammunition, especially of certain types: large quantities are produced and supplied according to needs. Our defense sector companies – he stated – are building the largest number of plants in the history of our country.”
The president’s tone became harsher when he unleashed his anger against “those who leaked these false statements,” reaching direct threats against the media and their confidential sources: “They are traitors – he said – and they will be tracked down and will face long prison sentences!”
