President Donald Trump has said the U.S. has a "virtually unlimited supply" of some key munitions, contradicting reports that U.S. forces deployed to the Middle East could run down weapons stockpiles far quicker than the weekslong campaign outlined by the White House.

According to Trump, American stockpiles of "medium and upper medium grade" munitions have "never been higher or better." However, he quickly added that supplies of the most expensive, advanced weapons "are not where we want to be."

U.S. and Israeli forces have been striking Iranian sites since early Saturday while defending against retaliatory drone and missile attacks from Tehran, which have continued for a fourth day.

Israel separately said on Tuesday its troops would advance into southern Lebanon after Iran-backed Hezbollah, the dominant militant group in Lebanon, said it had struck three Israeli military sites. The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait shut its doors on Tuesday as Saudi officials confirmed a fire had broken out at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh following a drone strike.

2. Not until

13. Can he

ever keep his big trap shut!

3. Things are only going to get worse if Iran has huge stockpiles of projectiles

Israel and the gulf countries have been mostly successful in shooting things down so far, but that’s quite expensive and unlikely to last forever.

4. Will UPS deliver them?

5. Translation:

Reports of limited munitions are true.

[QueerDuck]

7. Nailed it!

[nitpicked]

6. IMO, doesn't matter much

If the weapons aren't at where the firing systems are.

Or can't be readily supplied to there.

8. I thought I read where our "munitions"

supplies were low.

[ashredux]

9. Such a claim means we really are depleting our supplies

[travelingthrulife]

10. Then why did you add so much money to the military's pile?

[Ray Bruns]

11. That's great. Because when people have asked before about supplying weapons to Ukraine, he's said how low they were.

I’m glad that’s settled.

[Martin68]

12. When they run out, and they will, he will blame Obama and Biden. It's entirely predictable.

15. Where are all the 2nd Amendment types I wonder?

Aren't they armed to the teeth?
