Iran war crisis: US military is running out of missiles, while hiding casualties

from Geopolitical Economy Report · host Ben Norton

One, the Pentagon is running out of missile interceptors; two, the number of casualties among American troops is steadily increasing; and three, Yemen joined the conflict, attacking Saudi oil infrastructure, exacerbating the energy crisis.
