דיווח: טראמפ שקל "מתקפה מסיבית" באיראן - ואז הגיעה אזהרת הפנטגון על המיירטים

הערכה

A reported internal debate in Washington reveals a rare constraint on U.S. military action: not enemy capability, but the finite supply of defensive interceptors. The Pentagon's warning that a massive strike on Iran could deplete Patriot and air-defense missiles in the Middle East suggests that years of providing air defense to allies have left stockpiles thinner than publicly acknowledged. The calculus also includes fears of Iranian retaliation against Gulf partners and global energy markets. The key question is whether this is a temporary pause or a lasting shift in how the U.S. weighs offensive versus defensive readiness.
