Iran is running out of missile launchers and areas to launch missiles from, United States President Donald Trump claimed in an interview with Politico on Tuesday.
As the US’s Operation Epic Fury and Israel’s Operation Roaring Lion continue to pummel the Iranian regime, Trump stated that the regime is being “decimated.”
While he predicted that Iran would “keep lobbing missiles for a while,” he asserted that “they’re running out and they’re running out of areas to shoot them, because they’re being decimated.”
US has unlimited ammunition, Trump says
The US, on the other hand, is not facing the same issue with ammunition stockpiles, Trump added.
“We have unlimited of the middle- and upper middle- ammunition and things. We save it, and we build it,” he said, adding that defense companies are under emergency orders and are “on a rapid tear to build the various things” needed by the US military.
While the necessary ammunition is being made quickly, according to Trump, he additionally asserted that the US’s large stockpile is in part due to former US president Joe Biden not using any.
“We have unlimited, as stupid as [former US president Joe] Biden was, he didn’t use it,” he told Politico.
The IDF revealed on Tuesday that since the start of US and Israeli strikes on Iran, around 300 Iranian missile launchers have been destroyed.
