Trump confronted Hegseth over US munitions shortages amid Iran war: report

In the United States on 6 August 2026, the Washington Post reported that Trump and Hegseth clashed at Camp David over concerns about depleted missile stockpiles amid the Iran war. Other outlets reported that Trump confronted Hegseth over US munitions shortages, and Haaretz said the shortage could limit Iran strikes. Israel's former Navy head Marom said Israel may suffer from the same missile shortage, giving Iran leverage.

In the Gulf, a senior Saudi official said Saudi Arabia expected an imminent two-pronged attack from Iran's allies, and CNN reported the country was bracing for attacks on ports and airports by Iraqi militias working with the Iran-backed Houthis. TASS's press review said the US had halted Iran strikes.
