Tasnim News Agency reported that after six months of war, the US debt has increased by $4 trillion, 80% of its interceptor missiles have been depleted, and 18 people have died and 757 have been injured. Where is Trump's promised "rapid victory" now?
The report points out that from gasoline prices exceeding $4 per gallon and refineries under pressure to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the war launched by Trump is shifting its costs onto the American people and the global economy. The USS Abraham Lincoln is facing a crisis, with low crew morale, shortages of water and food, and reports of suicides; this is yet another sign of the continued depletion of the US war machine. Trump's goal in launching the war was to destroy Iran's nuclear program and missile capabilities, but six months later, it faces the Strait of Hormuz crisis, continued depletion of military forces, and failure to achieve its objectives. From the Pentagon's warnings of dwindling ammunition stocks to Schumer's criticism, and Trump's temporary transfer to a food delivery vehicle during his trip to Turkey, this war, originally intended to demonstrate strength, has now evolved into a security crisis.
