> Six months into the war with Iran, the US military says it is facing an ammunition shortage, despite President Donald Trump’s claim that American stocks are “virtually unlimited”. The Pentagon watchdog says more than US$22 billion worth of munitions were used in the conflict’s first four months. Iran’s new security chief has ruled out negotiations with Washington to ease tensions.
