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.

It’s not like there are other concerns to occupy the mind of the president.
Sometimes, I wish that the Trumpster would keep his mouth shut, but his response is better than our slimy media saying that we’re going to run out of ammo. Journalism - when you have the morality of an Ayatollah, the IQ of a Democrat, and the trustworthiness of Biden.
Come on man really...
Hic dux prorsus, accurate scit quid agat.
You speak of a war of survival. Should that come to pass, I can assure everyone that our ability to manufacture would amaze the world. During WWII, we were launching a new transport ship every day. We certainly weren’t doing that before the war.
Start spending 20-30% of our GDP on war production and see what happens, quickly.
Yes, Israel's forever war with Iran, not ours.
It's highly unlikely to accomplish that, however.
OMG! HE PUT THE WORDS “FOREVER” AND “WAR IN THE SAME SENTENCE!!!!!
Leftists, including those on Free Republic, will orgasmically wet their panties.
Hahahahahah!
This is the price we're paying for wasting so many on failed proxy war in Ukraine.
It was a disaster if we run before Iran runs out of missiles and drones.
It's a great comment considering the defeatist rumors, have another drink.
IF so, then airdrop some rifles and ammo to the Persian freedom fighters if we aren’t doing so already
What could be done is to have Iranian personnel:
1. carry centrifuges to public places and beat them to smithereens in front of the public and their cameras,
2. tape U-235 chucks onto large floating items people put in their pools and use boats to carry them out into the Persian Gulf for US collection.
These are possible decentralized actions.
The US military deserves the thanks of Congress by resolution.
And keep up the good work.
Bull

Relocation (2025): The U.S. moved some of its PAC-3 Patriot batteries from South Korea to the Middle East for a temporary deployment in early 2025.
Return of Missiles: Reports from November 2025 indicated that these Patriot batteries returned to the Korean Peninsula after their deployment.
“Next week?
“Next year?”
My, we have some impatient people.
You do what you need to do as long as necessary.
The Mad Mullahs have tried to build a nuclear arsenal for 30 years.
