Iran live updates: Trump insists US has 'massive amounts' of munitions

Despite the reported significant depletion of U.S. air defense stockpiles, President Donald Trump insisted in a post to social media late on Wednesday night that the U.S. has "massive amounts of 'munitions'" available for use.

"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," Trump wrote.

Trump then threatened "leakers" for releasing "treasonous statements" about the matter. The president said the alleged leakers are being "hunted down" and that "long term jail sentences will be sought."

In a statement provided to ABC News by the White House on Tuesday, the president said, "We have far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need."

U.S. stocks of air defense missiles have been significantly depleted during the recent war with Iran. A U.S. official confirmed that Patriot missile stockpiles had been reduced by two-thirds and that THAAD missiles had been reduced by half.

The White House has also denied that munitions are low.

"The United States Military has more than enough munitions, ammo, and stockpiles to serve all of President Trump's strategic goals and beyond, and Operation Epic Fury has exposed what happens when you mess with the United States," White House Principal Deputy Spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement provided to ABC News on Tuesday.

In an interview with Fox 5 after delivering on-stage remarks in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump again said negotiations with Iran appear to be "working out quite well."

However, he warned "you never know" what could happen and cautioned that "it may be, it may not be" different from previous rounds of talks.

The president said that Iran was influenced by the severity of strikes he was threatening last week. He added that such an attack is still on the table, saying, "We are ready to go."

President Donald Trump stressed during remarks in Las Vegas on Wednesday that the U.S. and Iran "are talking" and emphasized his desire to continue diplomatic relations while also repeating threats of deadly escalation.

"I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to kill people. I do not want to kill people," he said, going on to say, "We were all set for the biggest attack since World War II. And they called me and they said, 'Please don't do it, let's talk.'"

"But we are talking. Let's see what happens. But they respect us," he continued.

Trump again promised that as soon as the war ends, prices would come down on oil and gas -- before moments later saying "we may have to send it up again," seeming to allude to potential renewed military action against Iran.

Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter asked the Americans to stop the talks between Israel and Lebanon in Rome three hours early because the ambassador was frustrated over repeated inaccurate leaks from the Lebanese delegation, two sources familiar with the talks told ABC News.
