U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” addresses reports and concerns that the U.S. military may have depleted munitions supplies as it prepares for or conducts operations tied to a potential or ongoing war with Iran. Waltz says the Trump administration “inherited” a depleted munitions situation, indicating that commanders have faced constraints related to the available weapons stocks. He also disputes claims that any depletion is affecting operational readiness against Iran. According to Waltz, U.S. forces have “everything that it needs,” and commanders are still able to execute required military missions. The Hill reports that Waltz also points to responsibility from the Biden administration, arguing that low stockpiles stem from prior decisions and transfers. Across the coverage, Waltz acknowledges concerns about ammunition availability but maintains that the military’s current inventory is adequate for its needs in the Iran-related context. The statements come amid discussion of how the U.S. manages and prioritizes munitions in response to incoming or anticipated Iranian attacks.
