As Iran continues to target US bases across the West Asia including the Gulf countries, the number of Americans killed during the ongoing war with Iran now stands at six.

The US president said that the US Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better, and has virtually unlimited supply of these weapons, noting that the wars can be fought forever successfully using these supplies.

“At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries,” Trump wrote in a social media post.
