The Military Reality Trump Is Hiding

While Trump is on Fox telling Americans that Iran’s defenses are “gone,” here’s what’s actually happening on the ground.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard struck five U.S. military installations overnight: Al-Salt Air Base in Jordan, Ahmad Al-Jaber and Ali Al-Salem Air Bases in Kuwait, U.S. Fifth Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain, and Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. OSINT reporting confirms Jordan “got seriously hit.”

The Patriot missile defense situation is alarming. Defense analysts report that three out of four Iranian ballistic missiles penetrated Patriot PAC-3 defenses at a key U.S. base in Jordan. Six interceptors were fired to achieve one successful interception. In cost terms, that’s roughly $24 million in interceptors against approximately $150,000 per Iranian missile, a 160-to-1 exchange ratio. One analyst put it plainly: this is not sustainable. Once ballistic missile defense coverage is depleted at key sites, the math becomes nearly impossible.
