Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy reported that the president is reviewing U.S. weapons stockpiles. The review comes as Operation Epic Fury continues to expand.
Doocy discussed the developments during an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime. He said discussions took place at the White House after a lengthy meeting.
According to Doocy, officials also raised concerns about reports involving Russia and Iran. He asked the president about claims that Russia could be assisting Iranian targeting efforts.
Meanwhile, defense officials held meetings with major military contractors. The discussions focused on ensuring enough munitions remain available during Operation Epic Fury.
Operation Epic Fury Prompts Defense Industry Response
The defense secretary met privately with several leading defense contractors. The meeting involved five major companies responsible for critical military equipment.
Officials said current U.S. munitions supplies remain stable. However, leaders want to ensure reserves exist if new conflicts emerge globally.
Following the meeting, Lockheed Martin announced a major production decision. The company agreed to quadruple production of key munitions.
White House officials welcomed the announcement. Additionally, they expect similar commitments from other defense contractors involved in the discussions.
Trump Position on Ground Troops in Operation Epic Fury
Reports also suggested possible future military options. According to Doocy, an NBC report indicated Trump could consider deploying a small group of U.S. troops.
However, officials emphasized that no decision has been made. The proposal would not involve a large-scale invasion.
Doocy said such a move could still count as “boots on the ground.” Nevertheless, the administration appears cautious about expanding troop involvement.
Meanwhile, Trump is scheduled to attend a dignified transfer ceremony. The event will honor American personnel killed during Operation Epic Fury.
White House Defends Operation Epic Fury Strategy
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised the operation during a briefing. She described the campaign as a “resounding success.”
Leavitt said the administration acted after threats to U.S. national security. She also stated that more than 2,000 targets have already been hit.
According to Leavitt, the Iranian leadership is facing serious consequences. She said the administration is determined to eliminate the threat posed by Iran.
Additionally, she said Trump is correcting decades of previous U.S. foreign policy decisions. She described the president as committed to decisive action.
Operation Epic Fury Objectives Outlined
Leavitt also detailed several objectives in a post on X. These goals include destroying Iran’s missile capabilities and military infrastructure.
Officials also want to eliminate Iran’s naval capabilities. Additionally, they aim to prevent Iranian proxy groups from destabilizing the region.
The administration also seeks to stop Iran from producing roadside bombs and other weapons. Preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains a key objective.
Leavitt said many senior Iranian leaders were killed during the opening strikes. Among them was Ali Khamenei, according to her statement.
Therefore, Operation Epic Fury continues as a major U.S. military campaign. Officials say the strategy focuses on eliminating long-term threats to American security.
