Trump: US has ‘unlimited’ munitions to fight wars ‘forever’
The Hill ^ | 03/03/26 8:03 AM ET | Tara Suter

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.

So stupid. The Hill’s authors don’t see the irony in their own editorials that Operation Epic Fury is meant to end a forever war started by Iran.

I wish Trump wouldn’t run off at the mouth as he does. I know these words are taken out of context and the overall meaning is lost when you pick and choose one remark. But still... this is not good.

This is great! This is amazing! Trump shoves their propaganda right down their throats.

You’ve been wringing your hands for a decade. I’d start drinking heavy if I were you, maybe watch some MeTV reruns.

From what I have read in the past and posted during the Russian invasion, my impression is that America has huge deep war stores that are out of the equation of normal discussions and secretive, and then we have our less secretive normal stores which are the ones we tap into for emergencies like Ukraine and for selling to foreign governments, sending to Israel for emergencies and such.

In other words we have all the problems and issues of using up supplies, shortages of this and that, and so on, that everyone knows about and discusses, but we do have huge stores of war fighting ammo and supplies that are not part of anything but our nation’s survival and not part of anything that is shared with the public, a protected reserve and war base.

“So when will the Iran war end?”

For the Ayatollah, it ended quite rapidly.

When Iran can no longer project power outside its borders, can no longer enrich uranium or build missiles...and we find the U-235.

I bet you’re really butthurt that the forever wars we had in Afghanistan and Iraq did finally come to an end, but hey...

Maybe you’ll get your wet dream come true if the US again loses some 5,000 soldiers in this next forever war.
