US President Donald Trump has strongly rejected reports suggesting the United States is running low on ammunition as military operations against Iran continue to intensify. Responding to media reports questioning America's missile stockpiles, Trump insisted the US possesses "far more munitions than anyone in the world" and dismissed claims of shortages as a "disgrace." The remarks come after reports by CNN and The Wall Street Journal suggested that sustained military operations in the Middle East have placed growing pressure on US inventories of Patriot, Tomahawk and SM-3 interceptor missiles. Trump used Truth Social to project confidence in America's military capabilities, declaring that the United States has more advanced weaponry than it currently needs. The US President also drew widespread attention after sharing a series of AI-generated images related to the ongoing conflict. One image appeared to depict a strike on Iran's Kharg Island oil export terminal, while others showed an exploding Iranian vessel accompanied by captions such as "It's our oil tanker now" and "No more engines."

After 13 consecutive nights of military strikes, the United States has unexpectedly paused its operations against Iran, triggering intense speculation over Washington's next move in one of the world's most volatile conflicts. The sudden halt in US military action has fuelled debate over whether the pause is part of a calculated strategic reassessment or a temporary operational decision. Questions are also being raised over whether the Trump administration is weighing diplomatic, military and political considerations before deciding on the next phase of the campaign. Adding to the uncertainty, US Vice President JD Vance has expressed concerns about the risks of further escalation, as President Donald Trump considers whether to deepen America's military involvement in the region. The pause comes after nearly two weeks of sustained strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure. WATCH
