Trump says U.S. has enough weapons to fight wars ’forever’

Investing.com -- President Donald Trump said the U.S. military has enough stockpiled weapons to fight wars "forever" as the conflict with Iran entered its fourth day.

In a social media post late Monday, Trump said there was a "virtually unlimited supply" of U.S. munitions and that wars can be fought "forever, and very successfully, using just these supplies."

"The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!!" he wrote.

The comments came as the U.S. and Israel continued military operations in Iran following major air strikes that began Saturday. Trump described the campaign as "major combat operations" in Iran.

Earlier Monday, Trump offered no details on how long the campaign against Tehran would last, but said it had been projected to last four to five weeks.

"We’re already substantially ahead of our time projections. But whatever the time is, it’s OK. Whatever it takes," Trump said at the White House ahead of a Medal of Honor ceremony. The remarks were his first public comments since the conflict began.
