he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military under the Trump administration, he said, decided that &#8220;first, they&#8217;re transitioning to new types of munitions, cheaper munitions, new technologies, and are also rebuilding our great military with the help of new defense budgets.&#8221;<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House and the Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment on this matter.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As previously reported, US President Donald Trump ordered the American military to hold off on new strikes against Iran to allow room for a diplomatic settlement of the conflict.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/russia-is-doing-to-the-black-sea-what-iran-did-to-the-strait-of-hormuz-sybiha\/\">Russia Is Doing to the Black Sea What Iran Did to the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 Sybiha<\/a><br><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Ambassador to the UN Michael Waltz assured that the United States &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1257097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,49,36415,54,50],"tags":[76,78,72926],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1416099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","category-usa-en","category-svit-en","tag-glavnoe-en","tag-homepage-en","tag-ukraine-s-allies-aid"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>There&#039;s No Weapons Shortage in the US Because of the War in Iran \u2014 Waltz - Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/there-s-no-weapons-shortage-in-the-us-because-of-the-war-in-iran-waltz\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"There&#039;s No Weapons Shortage in the US Because of the War in Iran \u2014 Waltz - Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"US Ambassador to the UN Michael Waltz assured that the United States ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/there-s-no-weapons-shortage-in-the-us-because-of-the-war-in-iran-waltz\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-07-28T07:22:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/105-820x473.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"820\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"473\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uatv.ua\\\/en\\\/there-s-no-weapons-shortage-in-the-us-because-of-the-war-in-iran-waltz\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uatv.ua\\\/en\\\/there-s-no-weapons-shortage-in-the-us-because-of-the-war-in-iran-waltz\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Danylo Shportilo\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uatv.ua\\\/en\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/f4fe8d6d08deebcdee69f6671576d2d2\"},\"headline\":\"There&#8217;s No Weapons Shortage in the US Because of the War in Iran \u2014 Waltz\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-07-28T07:22:00+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uatv.ua\\\/en\\\/there-s-no-weapons-shortage-in-the-us-because-of-the-war-in-iran-waltz\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":291,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uatv.ua\\\/en\\\/there-s-no-weapons-shortage-in-the-us-because-of-the-war-in-iran-waltz\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uatv.ua\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/11\\\/105.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"\u0413\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0435\",\"\u041d\u0430 \u0433\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0443\u044e (\u0441\u043b\u0430\u0439\u0434\u0435\u0440)\",\"Ukraine\u2019s Allies &amp;
