US President Donald Trump says his country’s munition stockpiles have “never been higher or better,” a day after the Wall Street Journal reported that the US is racing to destroy Iran’s missile and drone force before running out of interceptors.

“As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies,” Trump writes on Truth Social, openly flirting with the notion of an indefinite conflict with Iran — something he campaigned against embarking on.

“At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be,” he acknowledges.

“Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries,” he adds.

“The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!” Trump writes.
