Sen. Mark Kelly blames Trump for Iran crisis and warns of U.S. munitions shortage

Sen. Mark Kelly (D‑AZ) said President Donald Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal set off the current Iran‑Israel conflict and has driven up energy, gasoline and food prices. He argued the war began without a strategic goal, timeline or clear exit strategy, and warned that the United States cannot treat its weapons stockpiles as limitless after more than 10,000 aerial strikes.

Kelly warned that rebuilding U.S. munitions reserves could take years, stressing the need for careful management as the U.S. continues to support Ukraine. His comments were made on national television programs, linking the foreign crisis directly to domestic affordability and national‑security concerns.
