The war was supposed to be quick. It wasn't.

The US and Israel struck Iran hard in February. Destroyed military targets. Hit nuclear facilities. Took out leaders.

But Iran is still fighting.

The Strait of Hormuz stayed shut for weeks. Twenty percent of global oil got blocked. Prices spiked over $110 a barrel. Inflation came roaring back.

US allies refused to help. France blocked US aircraft. Germany said no. The UK stayed out. NATO fractured.

Iran isn't winning battles. They don't need to. They just need to survive. And make the cost unbearable.

Every Patriot missile fired costs $4 million. Iran's drones cost $20,000. That's a 200 to 1 cost ratio. The US is burning through interceptors faster than factories can make them.

Oil at $100 plus means everything gets more expensive. Gas. Food. Shipping. Voters feel it. And elections are coming.

Iran's new Supreme Leader is more radical than the old one. He vowed to keep the strait shut. Keep launching drones. Keep bleeding the US economy.

The US has the firepower. But firepower doesn't win a war of attrition.

This was supposed to be a victory lap. Instead it's becoming a nightmare. And nobody knows how it ends.
