U.S. Official Acknowledges Shortage of Military Weapons Stockpile, Then Backtracks
On July 26 local time, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Thomas-Greenfield, was asked in an interview whether the U.S. military had given up on launching larger-scale military operations against Iran due to a shortage of weapon stockpiles. In response, Thomas-Greenfield first attributed the issue of the U.S. military's weapon stockpile shortage to the Biden administration. When pressed by the host, "So you admit there is a shortage of weapon stockpiles, right?" Thomas-Greenfield quickly "clarified" that the U.S. military has "all the resources" needed to carry out the current operations against Iran, and anyone leaking the so-called "weapon stockpile shortage" as "nonsense" should be imprisoned.
It is worth noting that Thomas-Greenfield was a key figure in the "White House group chat leak scandal" revealed last March. After the incident, he was reassigned by President Trump from his position as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs to serve at the United Nations.
On July 26, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, acknowledged U.S. military weapon stock shortages but later clarified that the military possesses all necessary resources for operations against Iran.
