US President Donald Trump believes Secretary of War Pete Hegseth misled him about American weapons stockpiles depleted during the war against Iran, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing sources in the US administration. Trump vented at Hegseth because he thought the munitions problem had been fixed, the report said. The dispute between Trump and Hegseth reflects the US president’s "increasing frustration" with the Pentagon chief, the newspaper said. The newspaper also cited White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell, who rejected its sources’ account as false. Trump previously denied reports that munitions shortages, including a lack of air-defense missiles, had contributed to his decision not to resume full-scale hostilities against Iran.
