US Defense Secretary Pete Higgsith stated that America has sufficient weapons stockpiles and is fully capable of resuming war against Iran if necessary.
US Defense Secretary Pete Higgsith declared that the United States maintains adequate weapons reserves and is "fully capable" of restarting military operations against Iran, according to his statement.
Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue on defense in Singapore, Higgsith said, "We are fully capable of resuming operations if necessary."
He further explained, "Our stockpiles are sufficient for that, both domestically and globally, due to how we balance high-tech munitions with other types of ammunition produced in larger quantities."
During the Asian forum meetings involving defense leaders, senior military officials, and diplomats, Higgsith emphasized that the US has not turned its back on the Asia-Pacific region despite its engagement in conflict with Iran.
He added, "We can do two things simultaneously. We are significantly enhancing our defense industrial base so that we can soon produce two, three, or even four times the amount of ammunition to ensure all our operational plans worldwide are properly funded."
Higgsith also issued a warning to Iran, stating that the US would return to war to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons "if necessary," or alternatively achieve this through negotiation.
At a government meeting at the White House last Wednesday, he said, "During Donald Trump's two terms, there was only one person who stood up and declared that Iran would never possess a nuclear weapon."
