This is a massive cost war. Cheap drones. Multi million dollar missiles. Long game. We went from 4 days to 4 weeks to now “boots on the ground”

Middle East analysts are saying that Iran regretted having agreed to the ceasefire last June 2025, because they feared that it would embolden Israel and the U.S. to attack again. And they were right.

So in the meantime they prepared for a long-term war of attrition. And this time they have no intention of surrendering.

Iran’s Rope-a-Dope War of Attrition:

“Kelly Grieco of the Stimson Center said Iran is calculating that defenders will exhaust their interceptors and political will before Iran runs out of (cheap) drones”

“Trump wrote that wars can be fought forever…His statement contradicts reports from military advisors who warn that high-end interceptors are under severe strain”

“Analysts fear Iran is reserving its most lethal ballistic missiles for deployment after Western defenses are depleted”

The article states that Iran is launching $20k drones that are getting intercepted by $4 million missiles. That is a ludicrous 200x cost differential.

Stock bulls are in the same predicament – they are running out of ammunition.

🚨 IRAN CONFLICT UPDATE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW HOURS:

No signs of slowing down. It’s getting worse.

– Trump just confirmed the U.S. struck Iran’s NEW leadership today. Called it “pretty substantial.” Says Iran is now “beaten militarily”, no navy, no air force, no radar left.

– He’s not ruling out ground troops.

– Israel bombed the Assembly of Experts WHILE they were meeting to elect the next Supreme Leader. Mossad posted a message in Farsi beforehand: “it doesn’t matter who is chosen, his fate has been decreed.”

– IDF gave all remaining Iranian regime representatives in Lebanon a 24-hour ultimatum. Leave or be targeted.

– Lebanon’s government just BANNED Hezbollah’s military operations. Ordered the group to surrender all weapons to the Lebanese Armed Forces. That is historic.

– US consulate in Dubai hit by an Iranian drone.

– Gas prices just posted their largest single-day spike since 2005. National average jumped 12 cents in one day.

– Trump ordered the Development Finance Corporation to provide insurance for tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Said the Navy will escort tankers if necessary. Oil pulled back from +9% to +2% on that announcement.

– Iraq is shutting down Rumaila, one of the biggest oilfields in the world. Could lose 3 million barrels/day if the Strait crisis continues.

– UAE says it intercepted 11 ballistic missiles and 123 drones just TODAY. Since the war started, they’ve faced 186 ballistic missiles total.

– Israeli Air Force confirms 1,600 missions flown. 4,000 bombs dropped across 24 of Iran’s 31 provinces since Saturday.

– CENTCOM says Iran had 11 warships in the Gulf of Oman two days ago. Today they have ZERO.

– Satellite imagery from Natanz shows fresh damage to Iran’s nuclear facility.

– Fed’s Kashkari says he’s no longer confident about rate cuts this year because of the war.

– Zelensky offered Ukraine’s drone defense expertise to the UAE. France sending a warship to Cyprus after an Iranian drone hit a British military base on the island.

– Trump slammed the UK and Spain for not cooperating. Said the US-UK relationship is “obviously not what it was.” Praised France and Germany instead.

– Senate War Powers vote confirmed for TOMORROW.

– IRGC says the “gates of hell” will keep opening. Says all commanders and combat units are fully operational.

– Over 1 million travelers stranded. 1,900 more flights canceled today. State Dept arranging charter flights from UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.

This is escalating by the hour.
