U.S. President Donald Trump said American stockpiles of medium- and high-level weaponry are now almost unlimited and could allow the country to wage wars “forever” if necessary.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump argued that the United States possesses weapons superior to those of other countries and maintains significant reserves. He also said part of the most advanced and expensive equipment is stored abroad for potential use.
“The highest-end stockpile is good, though not enough yet,” Trump wrote, adding that former U.S. president Joe Biden spent large amounts of time and money supplying Ukraine with weapons without ensuring they were fully replaced.
Trump said his administration has been rebuilding the military capabilities that existed during his first term and continues to strengthen the armed forces. According to him, the United States has sufficient resources and is prepared for a major victory.
Escalation with Iran
On February 28, the United States and Israel carried out a series of strikes on Iran, including explosions reported in Tehran.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, warned that the war with Iran would not be “a one-night operation” and that the United States should expect greater losses.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the most powerful American strikes against Iran may still be ahead. According to Rubio, Washington’s campaign is focused on three key elements of Iran’s military capability: its ballistic missile program, naval forces, and strike drones used in attacks against U.S. allies and bases in the region.
