Trump says Iran running out of missiles and launchers, war could end 'within days': Politico
Trump claims Iran is nearly depleted of launchers and key military assets as U.S. defense firms work under emergency orders to boost munitions production.
- On March 3, 2026, President Donald Trump told POLITICO that Iran is running low on launchers and key weapons, saying the conflict could end within days or last weeks.
- The administration said the strikes were justified because Iran was near nuclear capability or poised to attack the United States, with U.S. and Israel strikes starting Saturday killing nearly 800 people, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
- Citing stockpiles and industry action, Trump said `We have unlimited of the middle- and upper middle- ammunition and things` and that defense companies are `under emergency orders` to ramp up production.
- U.S. embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait closed and the State Department warned Americans to leave as Iranian missile and drone attacks continued, while Sen. Richard Blumenthal warned of a `potential desperate and disastrous shortage` of THAAD and Patriot air-defense systems.
- Noting leadership losses, the president said `49 senior Iranian leaders` were killed and urged Iranians in a Saturday video to `When we are finished, take over your government. This will be probably your only chance for generations.
