Middle East War Enters Month Two
The confrontation, which began with a coordinated US-Israeli strike on Iran in late February, has widened to a regional scale. In response, Tehran has launched missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, US military installations, and other American-aligned infrastructure throughout the region.
Reports indicate that all parties are under mounting pressure, with military stockpiles being tested and expensive systems being deployed at a tempo that may be difficult to maintain over time.
While US and Israeli troops have achieved tactical successes by striking thousands of targets, they are relying on costly, high-end interceptors to defend against relatively inexpensive drones and missiles, as noted in analyses circulated by defense research outlets.
Experts Macdonald Amoah, Morgan D Bazilian, and Jahara Matisek highlighted in their study, *‘Over 11,000 munitions in 16 Days of the Iran War: “Command of the Reload” Governs Endurance’*, that the US and allied forces had fired 11,294 munitions in the first 16 days of the conflict, amounting to an estimated $26 billion in expenditures.
