Iran war depletes U.S. missile and interceptor supplies, AP says
President Donald Trump addressed a defense summit at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, seated at a roundtable with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Republican Sen. David McCormick. Trump said the gathering would generate around $10 billion in pledged investments from domestic defense and technology companies, without providing details about the sources or timing of those commitments.
“The talent and innovation in this room will keep America safe for many years to come,” Trump said.
Trump spoke shortly after the U.S. military launched another round of missile strikes that he had previously promised against Iran, according to the Associated Press. The AP reported that a ceasefire to end the Iran war remains in tatters and that the conflict has reduced the U.S. supply of critical missile and interceptor systems.
MSI previously reported that in an April national address, Trump said U.S. forces would “finish the job” in Iran soon.
Trump made brief references to the Iran war and a January military operation to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. “We’re really doing well with Iran,” Trump said. “Iran is unhappy right now.”
