Leaker hunt amid looming munitions shortage in US-Israel Iran conflict
President Trump vowed to hunt down leakers after reports that the U.S. and its allies have burned through most of their offensive missiles (ATACMS, PrSMs) and are running low on Patriot and THAAD interceptors amid the US-Israel war on Iran, with replenishment expected to take years. He denied strategic disadvantage, claimed vast production, and branded leakers as treasonous, while a Washington Post report alleged Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth misled him about shortages. Experts warn the interceptor shortfall harms deterrence and could raise the risk of miscalculation as the conflict continues.
