Donald Trump dismisses concerns over US missile stockpiles amid Iran conflict

US President Donald Trump has dismissed concerns that the United States is running low on critical missile interceptors amid its conflict with Iran, insisting the country has far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need. His remarks came after reports by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal said senior military officials had warned that expanding operations against Iran could strain Patriot and other air defence interceptor stockpiles. While the White House and Pentagon maintained the military has sufficient resources, analysts estimate U.S. interceptor inventories have fallen sharply since the conflict began, fuelling debate over America's readiness for a prolonged regional conflict.
