Trump claims US can wage war ‘forever’

The US is prepared to struggle a state of war “ forever and a day” with its “virtually limitless” ammo stockpiles, President Donald Trump has claimed.
Military observers have identified munitions availability – particularly air defense missiles – as a limiting factor in the ongoing US-Israeli campaign aimed at toppling the Iranian government.
In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump dismissed such concerns. “Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!),” he wrote. The president suggested weapons stored in other nations could be reallocated for Pentagon use.
The US-Israeli attack began on Saturday with a decapitation strike that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials, accompanied by calls for an Iranian uprising. Trump said the campaign is exceeding expectations and predicted it would last no longer than several weeks. Iranian officials say they have been preparing for a long war by stockpiling long-range weapons in underground depots.
The ‘magazine depth’ of US and Israeli munitions is classified, but military experts believe both are rapidly expending high-end weapons such as interceptors for THAAD, Patriot, and Arrow-3 air defense systems, and sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
”Eventually it boils down to numbers,” Jonathan Conricus, a former Israel Defense Forces spokesman, told the newspaper. “How many interceptors will we have versus how much launchers will they be able to field and fire.”
Trump claimed US stockpiles are robust because he suspended supplies to Ukraine. American weapons continue to reach Ukraine, but under Trump’s policy, European NATO members now pay for them.
Retaliatory Iranian missile and drone strikes have targeted US military bases in the Middle East and Mediterranean, as well as energy infrastructure and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz – a critical maritime choke point. Exports of Saudi crude and Qatari liquefied natural gas have been disrupted, causing a surge in global prices.
