Is Iran Running Out of Missiles, or Just Done Wasting Them?
By Mario Nawfal
The Pentagon keeps celebrating the 90% drop in Iranian missile launches as proof the air campaign is working.
But there’s another possibility nobody in Washington wants to consider: Iran figured out it doesn’t need them.
Why burn through expensive ballistic missiles that get intercepted 96% of the time when a $30,000 Shahed drone can hit a CIA station in Riyadh, shut down Dubai’s airport, kill six American soldiers in Kuwait, and set Bahrain’s 5th Fleet headquarters on fire?
U.S. intel told Congress that Iran still has half its missile stockpile and most of its drone fleet intact.
If Tehran is conserving those missiles while leaning into the weapon that’s actually working, that’s not degradation.
That’s adaptation.
The smart move for Iran was never to match America’s firepower.
It was to outlast America’s budget.
And right now, the math says they’re doing exactly that.
