Trump: we are running low on ammo not because of my war on Iran but because Biden gave “massive amounts” of Tomahawks to Ukraine. The U.S. didn’t supply a single Tomahawk to Ukraine! Not a single one!

UPDATE: Update: Vessel of Interest, Greek flag tanker, loaded cargo in St Petersburg. Four different ship tracking sites has three different destinations for the vessel. Two credible sites show destination as Wilmington. However, there is a good chance that the cargo is not diesel but Russian urea.
