US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

This is just going to keep spiraling out of control

We’re never getting out of this war …

... I always though their true number before this war was closer to 10 thousand that’s included short and longer range missiles and they have shown the ability to rapidly replenish those missiles

If you believe Iran had 10,000 ballistic missiles, can you tell us how many ballistic missiles Iran has actually fired so far?

And where is the evidence for this supposedly “rapid replenishment” capability?

According to publicly available data, Iran fired around 2,227 missiles between 28 February and 10 April.

Country	Ballistic Missiles	Cruise Missiles	Drones/UAVs	Total Missiles + Drones
Israel	~650	—	>765	>1,415
United Arab Emirates	537	26	2,256	2,819
Kuwait	354	15	852	1,221
Bahrain	194	—	515	709
Qatar	≥227	—	111	≥338
Saudi Arabia	≥104	—	≥916	≥1,020
Jordan	161	—	120	281
Oman	Unknown	Unknown	≥19	≥19
TOTAL	≥2,227	≥41	>5,554	>7,822

If the 10,000 ballistic-missile figure is correct, that's only 22.3% of the claimed stockpile.
So the question arises: if Iran really has the ability to mass-produce ballistic missiles on the scale that so many IRGC fanatics and their supporters claim, why was Iran launching an average of only around 54 missiles per day over those 41 days, while supposedly fighting a “war of survival”?
If Iran genuinely possesses an enormous production capacity, where is the evidence that it can replenish its stockpile faster than it is expending it?

Having the ability to manufacture missiles is one thing. Having the industrial capacity to mass-produce them at a rate sufficient to sustain a prolonged high-intensity war is something else entirely.

Seeing interceptors launch one after the other is such a beautiful thing to watch.

Iran can announce whatever restrictions it wants. It just needs to be able to enforce them, which it's currently struggling to do due to its dead navy.

Meanwhile, the United States Navy has imposed restrictions on Iranian maritime activity thousands of kilometres from the US mainland.

That's the difference between announcing restrictions and actually having the military capability to enforce them.

And whether some like it or not, the the USN has the power to enforce almost anything

Speculation on your part or you have eyes into the future?

Turks are experts on inflation. They're currently getting around 48 Turkish liras for US$1.

Of course, that's after Turkey knocked six zeros off the currency in 2005—one new lira replaced one million old liras.

This has been receiving considerable air time on the local news as well as on some of the social media sites. That "extra $20 at the pump" added up fast.

The world is so concerned about poor, underdeveloped Third World America.
