While precise data is classified, publicly available information suggests the US has used up many difficult-to-manufacture weapons.

President Donald Trump has denied reports that the US is suffering a munitions shortage and vowed in a social media post that his administration would seek "long term jail sentences" for those suspected of leaking information. "The U.S. has massive amounts of 'munitions,' especially of certain types," Trump posted on Thursday morning. "Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed." Trump and the Pentagon are facing mounting questions about the state of the military's arsenal as the war with Iran marks its sixth month. The US and Iran have continued to trade strikes, despite multiple pauses in fighting, and a deal to fully end hostilities remains elusive. The administration has sought to assure Americans that US missile stockpiles remain robust, even after the military used vast quantities of difficult-to-manufacture weapons during the combat operation known as Operation Epic Fury and the tit-for-tat strikes since. CBS News, the BBC's US partner, reported the US has used much of its global stockpile of long-range precision missiles during the war, citing two unnamed sources with direct knowledge of the subject. Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday evening that Trump had confronted Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth last week over a possible weapons shortfall, also citing unnamed sources. The BBC has not confirmed the report. "The 'leakers' of these treasonous statements are being hunted down," Trump said in the post on Truth Social. "Long term jail sentences will be sought!"
