Çatışma · U.S. arms gap widens · ArşivU.S. Faces Weapons Shortage as Iran War Misses End GoalYazıldı 7 Eylül 2026 21:22 UTCİzleYayın dökümü0:00This was supposed to be a short and0:01decisive war. Now, the United States is0:04facing a weapon shortage in its war with0:05Iran, according to ABC News. The host0:08put it directly on air. This was0:10supposed to be a short and decisive war.0:13Now, we are facing a weapon shortage.0:15That shortfall overturns the opening0:17premise for the campaign, [music]0:18that it would be quick and contained.0:20The expectation has been replaced by0:21sustained combat with no declared finish0:23[music] line. The same host described0:25the campaign as flawed from day one,0:27asking, "Is this what happens when you0:29get into a war with no plan, no0:30timeline, [music] and on top of that,0:32you're dealing with Iran?"0:37>> [music]0:39>> J.D. Simkins, editor-in-chief of0:41Military Times and Defense News and a0:43Marine Corps veteran, speaking via ABC0:45News,0:45>> [music]0:45>> said some of the defined military tasks0:47have been met, whether it is demolishing0:49nuclear capability or demolishing the0:51Navy. But, as he has said from the0:53start, [music] military objectives that0:55have been satisfied do not necessarily0:56equate to strategic outcomes.0:58>> [music]0:58>> The practical stakes are immediate.1:00Ammunitions shortfall while fighting1:02continues without a clear measure1:03[music] of success forces US forces to1:05sustain combat without clarity, burns1:07through stockpiles intended for other1:09contingencies, and extends [music]1:10exposure. Simkins also said the internal1:13mechanism for caution has been stripped1:15away, saying a lot of those people who1:17might have been measuring the approach1:18[music] with this conflict have been1:19fired or resigned in protest at various1:22stages. That assessment is [music]1:23attributed solely to Simkins with no1:26independent confirmation in the1:27available evidence. The unresolved1:29questions now are how the United States1:31sustains [music] the campaign amid the1:32reported shortage, whether a coherent1:35strategic objective and timeline will be1:37set to replace shifting goalposts,1:38[music]1:39and what the loss of dissenting Pentagon1:40voices means for any course correction.Makaleyi okuHaberin zaman çizelgesiHeyDexKısa video ↗
