U.S. stocks of THAAD interceptor missiles have reportedly run dangerously low. Each individual Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor missile costs approximately $12.7 million.

The White House is demanding nearly $90 billion in funds for its war against Iran and other pet projects.
The Trump administration has formally requested $87.6 billion from Congress primarily to refill the Pentagon‘s weapon stockpiles amid the four-month-long war with Iran.
Approximately $67 billion is earmarked for the Department of War, while $2 billion is requested for the Coast Guard’s work relating to Operation Epic Fury.
The FBI and the Department of Energy are also receiving funds related to the Iran war, totaling $40 million and $95.5 million, respectively.
The Pentagon’s request includes $21 billion to replenish munitions, though the memo does not specifically state which weapons the department needs. There is no request for funds to rebuild US bases that were damaged as part of the Iran war.

Though the request does include $300 million for the Department of State to repair and restore facilities, such as embassies, in Bahrain, the UAE, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
In early May, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth testified before Congress that the war had only cost $29 billion, though many critics thought that number was low.
A little over a month later, the administration says the cost is now roughly $70 billion, despite the ceasefire being active for months.
The US has run through its vast stockpiles of bespoke munitions, like Patriot, THAAD, Tomahawk and SM3 missiles used to attack Iran and defend US and allied nations against incoming fire.
While the number of missiles in the US stockpile is a closely guarded secret, Trump has called on weapon manufacturers to step up production while the US faces not only a need for interceptors in the Middle East but in the Pacific as well.
The lofty supplemental spending package has provoked outrage among Democrats.
‘For months, the administration has failed to answer basic questions about its aims and justification for the Iran war and failed to provide the most basic information about its costs,’ Senator Patty Murray wrote in a statement.
‘This request is not merely meant to pay for the president’s disastrous war, but an attempt to secure tens of billions of additional dollars for unrelated Pentagon priorities.’
Top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, similarly wrote: ‘Democrats will not support tens of billions of dollars for Trump’s aimless war, which the House and Senate have both voted to end.’
The funding request comes the same week that the Senate passed a resolution to curtail Trump’s ability to wage wars abroad.
Though the move is largely seen as symbolic because the President is granted sweeping war powers in the Constitution, it does serve as a rebuke against the administration.
Many lawmakers in both parties have complained for months about not receiving enough information from the White House about the war and the negotiations to end it.
Outside of the Iran war funding, the White House requested over $11 billion to pay US farmers economic assistance, $1.4 billion for the Ebola outbreak, $1 billion to modernize New York’s Penn Station and $500 million ‘to complete restoration and construction projects in and around Washington, D.C.’
No wonder the west loses when every number they operate to is faked. Fake casualty numbers, fake inventory, fake damage to the other side. Phony costs, phony job numbers and phony inflation. It’s not as though the politicians are asking for true numbers while giving out fake ones, they ask for fake numbers themselves and even sack those trying to give real numbers. Like trying to assemble a working model from all the wrong parts they’re not going to do it. They have to have the right numbers at least but unfortunately that’s the very thing they’re afraid of and will desperately avoid.
There you go, looting the treasury is on, baby. All we need is a scary, pretend enemy, that is “just about” to make a nuke, have a pretend , or rather a “raging war”, with surprisingly low levels of combat injuries, and blow up emptied military bases, take good pictures of trash can fires, and yell at Pete a lot.
As Khomeini the founder of Iran’s Islamic Revolution and his martyred successor Ali Khamenei had said, the revolution is not over at all! Indeed Iran’s Islamic revolution took back and inherited Iran as it was with all the perks, weaknesses and strengths; this Iran had many alien sub-systems such as the banking system, the education system, the medical systems, etc… Iranian revolutionaries had to work with what they had inherited and even though many of the sub-systems were and still are deeply un-Islamic or in more accurate terms they are not monotheistic (duality in unity) and are instead based on trinity (tri-logical thinking) or duality in opposition… still they had to temporarily work with them until a suitable replacement would be ready and possible.
Today however it is clear that Iran’s revolution in nation/state building and military domains have been successful. In fact many of the Iran short comings in economics are due to the conflicting sub-systems and conflicting ways with the core value system of the Iran’s Islamic Revolution.
Iran has revolutionized military and war, almost 70% of all classic militaries are obsolete today. Things like air-defense, fighter-jets, tanks, large capital ships in particular aircraft carriers are all obsolete. In fact many years ago I posted here that air-craft carriers are obsolete, today however just look at the humiliation: US Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain is wrecked and US navy is far away staying out of harm! Iran took out their stationary coms, radars, eyes, and then took out their airborne ones known as AWAICS and the control drones such as Global Hawks, MQ9s, etc…
Trump keeps saying that US has destroyed Iran’s navy and air-force but in truth even the land/air/sea categorization is obsolete. In fact Iran’s regular land forces (Artesh) used Arash 2 drones to strike Zion over a thousand kilometers away… regardless US has to remain in “negotiations” because they have lost! The asymmetric military power of Iran is not only intact, it is now the most advanced and powerful in the world. China and Russia are taking notes indeed. Even air-defense has become obsolete specially in the classic sense of it.
Iran also showed that it is immune to decapitation strikes which is the primary skill of US and Zion!
In martial arts you are encouraged to attack the weakest point of your opponent with your strongest strike. In the 12 day war, US and Zion did that… but Iran survived and in turn had to do something strange, Iran attacked the strongest point of the enemy which was its air-defense and completely obliterated it, that’s why Trump has to go ahead with the futile and expensive project Golden Dome to fix the lost reputation!
Iranians did not escape in mass, there was no asylum seeker problem. To the contrary many Iranians returned to Iran during and after the war, Turkey was bamboozled by this phenomena! They had put up checkpoints and infrastructure to control and block masses of escaping Iranians but that did not happen. I myself was preparing for the final war, writing my will and readying myself to fight somewhere close to the north-western borders, but to my astonishment life kept going on and I had to eventually abandon my spiritual “ready stance” and get back to life and earn money! HAHAHAHA
Today every kind of Iranian would agree that US war on Iran was so overhyped and the actual thing itself wasn’t that bad! It was real and painful but not like the hell many had predicted! Sure like some 6K civilians died but that’s nothing for a nation of 90 million; during the war Iran’s currency actually grew 11%, some attributed this to the bypassing of bureaucracy. The war also quickly dispelled the lies that Iran had killed 70K protestors over just two nights without using chemical weapons, missiles and bombs! : )
Even in the World Cup, Iranian team caused a lot of drama, came out as a victor despite all the wrongs! and left with no loss and just 3 draws and harsh millimeter VAR judgments that would never happen for any other “approved” team!
So to conclude Iran’s Islamic Revolution is still alive and thriving and all along all other opposition movements have been branded by children of Khomeini as anti-revolutionaries because they are the ones that are conservatives and against change. The change had to come one way or another, Iran has revolutionized military force forever. Just think about the madness: two rabid nuclear armed powers attack two times a non-nuclear armed country and in the end they asked for ceasefire that they can’t keep and brought a third Islamic nuclear armed country (Pakistan) to make peace between them! Almost every belief is shaken, idols are wrecked in front of the world and worshipers can’t believe their eyes!
ایها صهیون نحن المقاومون و نحن المنتقمون
