In a post on Truth Social, Trump revealed that the US possesses a vast stockpile of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which he claims have been utilised not only in Iran but also in Venezuela.

He wrote, “We just finished a very productive meeting with the top US defence manufacturing companies, where we reviewed production and production schedules. They have agreed to quadruple the production of “Exquisite Class” weapons in order to achieve the greatest levels of quantity as soon as possible. Expansion began three months before the summit, with plants and production of several of these weapons already underway. We have a virtually endless supply of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which we utilise in Iran and now in Venezuela. Regardless, we’ve boosted orders at these levels.”

In his post, the US President also noted that the firms represented included the CEOs of BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Missile Solutions, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon.

He stated in the article that the meeting concluded with another meeting scheduled in two months and that states around the United States are competing for these new plants.

The United States is still engaged in Operation Epic Fury at the time of the meeting with the CEOs of military companies.

The achievable goals of Operation Epic Fury are anticipated to last roughly four to six weeks, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who also told the media on Friday (US local time) that the US has enough ammunition and stockpiles to accomplish Epic Fury’s goals and more.

Targeting important military locations, nuclear-related infrastructure, and leadership compounds, US and Israeli troops launched massive air and missile strikes throughout Iran as part of a coordinated operation known as Operation Epic Fury/Roaring Lion.

Six American Armed Forces officers lost their lives during Operation Epic Fury, and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sent his sympathies on Friday.

“Our country mourns the loss of six extraordinary American heroes,” he stated on X. These courageous fighters supported Operation Epic Fury by giving their all for our nation. Captain Cody A. Khork, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, and Major Jeffrey R. O’Brien. Sergeants Nicole M. Amor and Noah L. Tietjens, both first class. Declan J. Coady, Sergeant.”

We will track down the responsible Iranian extremists, destroy their military prowess, and guarantee prompt and complete retribution. We are more powerful than ever, prepared to exact revenge on these slain soldiers and eliminate any Iranian threats that dare to confront us. America refuses to give up; we move forward, we win, and we will protect this. God bless the United States of America, our warfighters, and their families.”

Additionally, the Israeli Defence Forces claimed in a video message posted on X on Friday that many missile stockpiles and 60% of Iran’s missile launchers had been neutralised.Iran now has air superiority over its skies thanks to the neutralisation of almost 80% of its air defence systems. The Iranian regime’s attacks have drastically decreased as a result of our activities and US operations, according to a video statement from IDF International Spokesperson Lt Col Nadav Shoshani.

West Asian tensions have increased since Iran’s Supreme Leader, Khamenei, and other high-ranking officials were murdered in a joint US-Israeli military operation on Iranian territory on February 28. Tehran responded angrily.

Iran retaliated by launching waves of drone and missile attacks across several Arab nations, targeting Israeli assets and American military installations throughout the area. Israel also continued its strikes on Tehran and expanded the fight to Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah.
