The White House has affirmed that the United States possesses “more than enough” missiles, responding to media inquiries regarding potential shortages. This statement follows a CNN report alleging that the US has utilized nearly 80 percent of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors. Defense official Pete Hegseth vehemently refuted the CNN report via X (formerly Twitter), labeling it false and demanding an apology. Hegseth accused CNN of insufficient condemnation of “Fake News” media. The conflicting narratives raise questions about the accuracy of reporting on US missile defense capabilities. The incident highlights the increasingly combative relationship between government officials and certain media outlets. Further clarification on actual stockpile levels remains unclear.
