Foreign Affairs Identifies Iran’s Strategic Advantage in Potential Conflict with U.S.

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the magazine Foreign Affairs has reported that a conflict against Iran is no longer solely determined by military might, but by the ability to impose substantial costs on the enemy. Iran, through its network of regional allies and its arsenal of inexpensive missiles and drones, has compelled the United States and the Zionist regime to deploy expensive interceptor missiles, advanced naval vessels, and ships. In this strategic equation, Tehran does not require technological superiority; it only needs to elevate the cost of engagement for its adversaries.

Another indicator of strength highlighted is the rapid replacement of military equipment during wartime. Even the economic pressure campaign against Iran necessitates a political will to sustain its associated costs over time. Realistically, the most probable outcome remains a protracted confrontation without a clear resolution.

Earlier, the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) informed Congress that it had spent $43.6 billion to date in its operations related to aggression against Iran. As of September 3rd, approximately $11.2 billion has been allocated to cover additional expenses associated with this aggression, with $28.1 billion designated for replacing expended munitions. Furthermore, $4.3 billion has been disbursed to replace lost equipment.
