BREAKING: Trump lost his temper and clashed with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at Camp David on Friday over extreme US munitions shortages that have limited US military options with Iran, with Trump demanding answers from Hegseth as he thought the munitions issue "had been fixed," per WaPo.

Hegseth defended himself by blaming his deputy Stephen Feinberg for the shortages, prompting Trump to make a "very angry" phone call to Feinberg on Friday evening, with Feinberg then hastily convening a "crisis" meeting of senior military and defense acquisition officials that night to address ways to quickly replenish weaponry.

Hegseth was one of the biggest early advocates for taking military action against Iran, convincing Trump it would be a "quick and relatively easy win," but the ATACMS stockpile is now "drained to the extent that there's basically none left" with the US having used more than 1,300 Army tactical ballistic missiles in the initial weeks alone, and it could be "years" before US inventories are rebuilt.
