By

Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
The article examines how depleted weapons stockpiles could impact the potential conflict between the US and Iran, with US President Donald Trump claiming America has a 'virtually unlimited supply' of key weapons while Iran's defense ministry asserts it has 'the capacity to resist the enemy' longer than the US planned. The analysis suggests that while weapons stocks alone won't decide the outcome of any conflict, they remain a significant factor, drawing parallels to the Ukraine-Russia war where Ukraine has been outnumbered and outgunned but continues to resist.
