The Atlantic reports that the United States has been engaged in conflict with Iran for five months, resulting in depleted stocks of Patriot and THAAD interceptor missiles that limit both aid to Ukraine and defense against Iranian ballistic missiles. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth requested billions in additional funding from Congress, while the Pentagon has awarded tens of billions in replenishment contracts. CNN reports that President Trump denies any munitions shortage and stated he would seek to jail leakers on the issue, while Iran indicated a Hormuz strait deal is close pending US commitments.
