> Senior U.S. officials say Donald Trump has complained privately in recent days that disclosures about the country’s dwindling munitions stockpile make the United States appear weak at a critical moment. Trump has repeatedly threatened additional military action in an effort to pressure Iran into agreeing to a deal. The comments reflect his concern about how the stockpile disclosures affect U.S. leverage. His threats are presented as part of that effort to motivate Tehran toward an agreement.
