President Donald Trump dismissed concerns that the conflict in Iran was draining American firepower as clashes resumed in the on-again off-again hostilities that have stretched more than six months, with neither side willing to restart negotiations to end the war.

“This is a relatively little war for us,” Trump told reporters on Monday. “This is not a big war.”

The president brushed aside criticism of U.S. munitions shortages after months of airstrikes and long-range missile attacks on Iran, saying the U.S. has “tremendous amounts, unlimited amounts of mid-grade and older” munitions and that “we’re only talking about what we call the elite, the elite stuff — and even that we’re in very good shape, but we can always take from other sources.”
