Indeed, representatives of the Trump administration themselves claim that they have plenty of weapons.
As reported by Deutsche Welle, European Commissioner for Defense and Space Andrius Kubilius stated on March 6 that Washington may find itself unable to supply sufficient missiles to allies amid the ongoing war between the U.S. and Israel against Iran. According to him, American military forces will have to simultaneously support their own armed forces, the Gulf countries, and Ukraine.
"The Americans really will not be able to provide enough of these missiles - both for the Gulf countries and for their army, and for the needs of Ukraine," Kubilius said. Members of the Democratic Party in the U.S. have previously expressed concern that the intensive use of weapons in the war against Iran could lead to depletion of stocks.
The day before, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that the United States does not have a shortage of ammunition. Speaking at a press conference, he emphasized that American stocks of offensive and defensive weapons allow for military operations "for as long as necessary." According to Hegseth, Iranian leadership is seriously mistaken if they think that the U.S. will not be able to sustain the operation for long.
