Trump: US has ‘unlimited’ munitions to fight wars ‘forever’
Rubio Says Strike On Iran Aimed To Destroy Nuclear Capability Before It Grew Too Strong | TRENDING
President Trump said late Monday the U.S. has “virtually unlimited” munitions to fight wars “forever,” just days after the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes in Iran.
“The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better — As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!),” he continued. “At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries.”
The military effort in Iran, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, began early Saturday after weeks of threats from the president — who called for regime change in Tehran and an end to the Middle Eastern nation’s nuclear program. Iran launched a counterattack, targeting Israel and other nations in the Gulf.
Earlier Monday, Trump said the military operation in Iran could last for at least “four to five weeks.”
“We have the strongest and most powerful, by far, military in the world, and we will easily prevail,” the president said at the White House during a Medal of Honor ceremony. “We’re already substantially ahead of our time projections, but whatever the time is, it’s okay. Whatever it takes.”
“From the beginning, we projected four to five weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that,” he added.
While the Saturday strikes on Iran killed the nation’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, it also led to the deaths of several U.S. service members. The president acknowledged that more American deaths are likely during the conflict.
In a CNN poll released Monday, more than half of Americans expected the recent strikes against Iran to grow into a long-term conflict. The poll found that 56 percent of respondents said they believed “a long-term military conflict between the US and Iran” was “very likely” or “somewhat likely.”
Trump brushed off recent polls following the strikes, saying “I think that the polling is very good, but I don’t care about polling.”
“I have to do the right thing. I have to do the right thing,” he told the New York Post. “This should have been done a long time ago.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Monday that Iran posed an “imminent threat” to the U.S., and Vice President Vance — while defending the strikes — said there is “no way” the president would let the U.S. operation lead to a prolonged conflict in the region.

"""“We have the strongest and most powerful, by far, military in the world, and we will easily prevail,” the president said """ several presidents said the same thing before the bill for Bush's folly in Afghanistan hit 20 years and $30 trillion. These folks have never learned the basic concept of "Kings may control a state, but the people control a nation.". When the child bombers bombed more children in Iran, it didn't work to make them scared, if made them mad. They know the Zionist States of America would do to them what the ZSA has done in occupied Palestine. And everyone knows Iran has enough munitions to deplete the ZSA stockpiles of interceptors. The US has already shifted interceptors out of Ukraine to protect the squatter terrorists occupying Palestine. A few more weeks and the squatter terrorists will be defenseless. And I don't think Iran will stop when the ZSA stops this time.

Reducing and moving the defensive armaments on the Korean Peninsula to the middle-east says otherwise. Is the entire GOP in on the lie so they can get inside trade advantage?

I remember Bibi trying to get Obama and Biden to start a war with Iran. Both strongerly refused. Trump was a pushover for Bibi.

tRUmp is being blackmailed by the zionists because he is a pedo. The middle class will be on the hook to pay for "Operation Epstein's Folly".

Just confess Donald that your poor judgement in cancelling the Iran working, verified nuclear deal with Iran backfired spectacularly.
Worst President ever.

Narrator : the US munition stockpile was in fact, at all times low. If China invaded Taiwan right now, the US wouldnt be able to fight, even if it wanted to.

So we're on the verge of being totally depleted, to the delight of Putin and Xi.

The man that ran on "no more forever wars" starts a war and brags that it could go on forever.
That same man is solely responsible for Iran being at 60% enrichment levels.
When the U.S. withdrew from the JCPOA nuclear agreement in May 2018, Iran was in compliance with the deal, which capped its uranium enrichment levels at 3.67%. This low-enriched level was far below the 90% purity required for weapons-grade material.
