The United States has sufficient weapons stockpiles to meet the needs of its military operation in Iran, White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said today, quoted by Reuters, writes BTA.
She explained that US President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegsett are about to meet with defense industry companies.
"It takes four to six weeks to complete the operations in Iran", she added, noting that "the United States is moving confidently towards establishing full control over Iranian airspace".
Russia provides Iran with intelligence information, including data on the location of US warships and aircraft in the Middle East east, the "Washington Post" reported, citing three officials.
It is not entirely clear how much Russian support for Iran is. However, according to the newspaper, the ability of the Iranian military to detect American forces on its own has been seriously weakened after the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Tehran last week. Since then, the conflict has widened. Iran has responded to the attacks, and tensions have gradually spread to neighboring countries, as Tehran seeks to make the United States, Israel and their allies pay a high price for its actions.
The US military said six reservists were killed in Kuwait after a drone crashed into a US military facility in the port of Shuaiba. Trump and other senior US officials have warned that the conflict is likely to result in more casualties among the US military.
"The Iranian regime is under intense pressure. Their ballistic missile retaliatory strikes are decreasing with each passing day, their naval forces are suffering serious losses, their production capacity has been destroyed, and their allied groups are barely putting up any resistance," said White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly.
The Kremlin announced that Russia is maintaining a dialogue with representatives of the Iranian leadership, but did not provide details in response to the question of whether Moscow is providing assistance to Tehran.
The conflict is also unexpectedly proving to be economically beneficial for Russia, as it has led to a significant increase in demand for Russian oil and gas. This supports Russian exports, which in recent years have been severely affected by sanctions imposed due to the war in Ukraine, the publication notes.
