President Trump said the U.S. has enough ammunition to continue the war against Iran “forever,” during an interview this morning with FNC’s Brian Kilmeade (full interview here).

BRIAN KILMEADE, FOX NEWS: So yesterday, the prime minister, or the other day, said, It’s soon to the Iranian people. It’s time for you to soon come back and take back your country when the time is right, and that time is soon. There’s also a report that Israeli officials do not think the regime is ready to fall yet. What do you say to the Iranian people? Do you echo what the prime minister said, their time is soon to take back their own country? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, you just mentioned to me a group of people that go around with machine guns and shoot them down, and they say if anybody protests, we’re going to kill you in the streets. So I really think that’s a big hurdle to climb for people that don’t have weapons. I think it’s a very big hurdle. So that’ll happen, but it probably will be maybe not immediately. Who’s going to do that? They literally have people in the streets with machine guns, machine-gunning people down if they want to protest. OK? So, you know, that’s a pretty big – that’s a pretty high standard to say I want to go and protest, right? And so I would understand that, and I would think Bibi would understand that too. BRIAN KILMEADE, FOX NEWS: He didn’t say he’s doing it right now. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Time will go by. They’re going to be in worse shape as time goes by. We’re hitting them very hard. We have unlimited ammunition. We have, of the high level and medium level – the medium and medium-high level – we have virtually unlimited ammunition, and we’re using it. We’re using it. We can go forever.
