US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz is pushing back hard on claims that the United States is running short of key weapons as the Iran war continues. In a Sunday television appearance, he said reports about dangerously depleted American munitions stockpiles are wrong.
Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," Waltz said he had confirmed through multiple channels that the US military has what it needs to carry out the campaign effectively. His comments were aimed at countering growing questions about whether the pace of military operations is putting pressure on US supplies.
Waltz also took an aggressive stance toward those behind the reports, arguing that such leaks are serious and harmful. His remarks signal that the administration wants to project confidence in US military readiness at a time when scrutiny over the Iran war and American resources is intensifying.
The exchange adds to the broader debate over how sustainable the conflict may be and how the United States is managing its military inventory. For now, Waltz's message is clear: the US, he says, still has the munitions required for the war effort.
