In Washington, rumors of a critical depletion of military supplies against the backdrop of the escalation of the conflict with Iran were categorically refuted. US Ambassador to the UN Mike Volts, making a statement, confirmed that the US military is fully equipped with the resources to conduct an effective campaign.
Personal inspection of supplies
The diplomat emphasized that information about the lack of ammunition does not correspond to reality. According to Volts, he personally checked the state of the warehouses and logistics chains. Any reports of "empty shelves" he called lies, adding a harsh assessment: people spreading such rumors deserve prison.
"I want to be absolutely clear: the US military has everything necessary to conduct this campaign as effectively as necessary," the ambassador said.
Logistics changes and budget
Despite refuting the critical shortage, Volts admitted that the supply situation has become more complicated due to previous operations and large-scale assistance to partners. In response, the Pentagon is already changing its supply strategy. The army is switching to the use of new technologies, introducing the production of cheaper types of ammunition, and expanding the defense budget to maintain the pace of operations.
Panic in the media and Trump's reaction
Rumors about the lack of resources did not arise from nowhere. Earlier, CBS News, citing sources, reported that the administration of President Donald Trump was concerned about the too rapid expenditure of air defense interceptor missiles and precision weapons. High spending rates are forcing the leadership to look for non-standard solutions, which gave rise to speculation in the press.
Diplomatic pause
Alongside military actions, Washington will use diplomatic levers. Mike Volts reported that the US has suspended strikes on Iran after 13 nights of continuous operations to give diplomacy a chance. However, in Washington, Tehran was clearly warned: ignoring this step carries serious risks for Iran.
