"The difference between us is not in how we understand the threat, but in our priorities: for us, Iran is an existential threat; for the United States, it is a chronic regional challenge."

"It is vital to the US national interest to assist our ally in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability," the statement said.

The United States has supplied large quantities of weapons to allies while also using munitions in its own military operations, raising concerns about inventories.

Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg told lawmakers of the cost in phone calls earlier this week, according to the report.

"I hereby find that conditions exist which may pose a direct threat to the national defense or its preparedness programs," Trump said in a June 11 memorandum to US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Mor stressed that the only favorable terms the US was likely to give Iran were terms that could be quickly retracted should the regime fail in its promises.
