    Pentagon's Missile Interceptor Stockpile Depleted in Iran Conflict

    The Pentagon is facing a critical situation after months of conflict with Iran. The stockpile of America's defensive missile interceptors, including Patriot and THAAD systems, has been significantly depleted. Military planners are now considering whether they can continue the current pace of retaliatory attacks. Iran's strategy appears to be targeting U.S. bases, forcing the U.S. to consume its advanced missile defense systems, potentially lengthening the war and increasing risk to American forces.

    U.S. and Israel Plan Massive Strikes on Iranian Energy Infrastructure

    The U.S. and Israel are reportedly preparing large-scale airstrikes against Iranian energy infrastructure, including power plants and oil refineries, as early as this weekend. The operation, which could last several days, was discussed at a cabinet meeting chaired by President Trump at Camp David. Israeli authorities have been informed and are coordinating their actions with the U.S., but President Trump has not yet given final authorization. If carried out, the operation would mark Israel's return to military action against Iran since the ceasefire organized by the U.S. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated: "As President Trump said at today's cabinet meeting, the United States will win, and Iran will not get nuclear weapons under his leadership."
