Chair of joint chiefs of staff and others in classified meeting said Iran is trying to get US to spend its munitions

Top military officials told lawmakers in a closed door briefing on Tuesday that they may not be able to shoot down every Iranian drone being launched against US military installations and assets in retaliatory attacks, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The officials, led by the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, Gen Dan Caine, said Iran has been deploying thousands of one-way attack drones and while they have capacity to take down the vast majority but not all of the barrage.

As a result, the officials said in a classified briefing for lawmakers on Capitol Hill, the US was focused on destroying the launch sites for the drones and conventional missiles as quickly as possible. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details.

    Would the Trump administration lie?

    We will release the Epstein files

    I have the Epstein files on my desk

    All of the files have already been released

    There are no files, never were

    There are files but they exonerate everyone on our side and implicate all of our opponents. No you can’t see them, just trust us bro.

    Why are you still talking about the Epstein files?

    The files are a democrat hoax… But they still exonerate Trump somehow

    Okay here’s the files, but Trump isn’t in there once.

    Okay we removed the 10,000 mentions of trump that we missed.

    Stop talking about this, Dow is over 50k!

    World War III is no time to discuss the Epstein files
