CNN reported Friday on the current state of the U.S. war in Iran, noting that Iranian lawmakers are drafting legislation that would prohibit vessels from the United States, Israel, and other countries Tehran deems hostile from transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints, through which roughly a fifth of global oil consumption routinely passes, meaning any disruption there would carry immediate economic consequences far beyond the conflict itself. The report also indicated that senior U.S. officials say President Donald Trump is furious over reports that some American munitions are being depleted in the conflict with Iran, and that he has privately complained this is making the U.S. appear weak in negotiations.

Trump on Thursday ordered a leak investigation into reports about the Pentagon's dwindling munitions stockpile, according to the Wall Street Journal. Trump made the demand after weeks of media headlines describing depleted munitions levels tied to the war, administration officials said, despite assurances from the administration that the U.S. possesses what it needs to confront Tehran and world powers such as Russia and China. Such leak investigations have historically raised tensions between national security agencies and the press, and the outcome of this probe could shape how much the public learns about Pentagon supply levels going forward.

The president's frustration with the war has grown, advisers say, as he perceives few viable options to compel Iran to dismantle its nuclear program or more broadly bring the conflict to an end. The Journal described Trump as being "roiled" by the coverage, with one administration official saying the negative headlines drove him "crazy." Public concern about the sustainability of U.S. military operations has intensified as the conflict has drawn on without a clear diplomatic off-ramp.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Trump engaged in a heated exchange with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth during a Cabinet meeting at Camp David last week. The White House has denied the report, the Journal noted.

Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday in an effort to reshape the narrative around the U.S. munitions stockpile.

"The U.S. has massive amounts of 'munitions,' especially of certain types," Trump wrote. "Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history."

"The 'leakers' of these treasonous statements are being hunted down," Trump pledged. "Long term jail sentences will be sought!"

CNN military analyst Col. Cedric Leighton (Ret.) on Friday called the reports about dwindling munitions "a big problem," telling host Sara Sidner the issue "should keep military planners up at night."

"They certainly seem to be keeping up the president at night," Leighton remarked. "And when you look at all the different things that are going on in terms of the need for these kinds of munitions, it really shows the need to revamp the defense industrial base. And that, of course, is a very serious issue."
