U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday told reporters that he believed the war with Iran would be over soon and said the armed forces were experiencing issues with supplies of some weapons."I think it's going to end pretty soon. I don't think they can go much longer," Trump said in the Oval Office in a reference to Iran. Reuters reported on Tuesday that the U.S. Army had used up much of its global stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran.
