US President Donald Trump has said that the country’s munition stockpiles have “never been higher or better.” This comes a day after the Wall Street Journal reported that the United States is rushing to destroy Iran’s missile and drone force before running out of interceptors.

“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. Wars can be fought “forever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!). At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be,” wrote Trump.

The U.S. Central Command recently released a list of US assets that are being employed in its Operation Epic Fury. The US launched the major military operation against Iran on Friday, February 27, with the strikes targeting key Iranian military sites, including missile facilities, naval bases, and locations near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s office.

The United States unleashed various weaponry against Iranian targets on Saturday, February 28, including suicide drones, Tomahawk cruise missiles and stealth fighters. It also used, for the first time in combat, low-cost one-way attack drones modeled after Iranian designs.

Meanwhile, Trump recently asserted in a statement on the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he moved first to neutralize what he claimed was an imminent threat to his own life. This comes after the US President announced Khamenei’s death in a Truth Social post, calling him “one of the most evil people in History”.

Trump said in a conversation with ABC News, seemingly referencing a 2024 Iran-linked plot that US authorities had earlier said was aimed at assassinating him, "I killed him first, before he could kill me. He tried twice. Well, I killed him first.”\"I got him before he got me,” Trump added.
