AIMilitary affairs expert Diaa Qaddour stated that American weaponry remains among the most advanced globally, benefiting from continuous production, development, and modernization.
Speaking on Al Arabiya FM, Qaddour noted that the United States is currently supporting two major wars worldwide: the ongoing war in Ukraine and the protracted Iranian war.
He explained that this has led to the depletion of many US military defense platforms, air defense missiles, and precision-guided munitions. However, he stressed that this does not mean the United States is incapable of confronting Iran.
Qaddour added that the US has alternative options, such as accelerating weapons production and removing bureaucratic obstacles that delay manufacturing.
US reports have indicated that the Pentagon is facing ammunition shortages due to the prolonged war against Iran, prompting the military to request additional missiles. However, former President Donald Trump has denied these claims.
