Analyst questions sustainability of US military pressure on Iran

Journalist and political commentator Syed Mohsin Abbas argues that the Trump administration's military campaign against Iran had become increasingly unsustainable, contending that the United States lacked sufficient missile stockpiles to defend its regional bases or effectively support allied defense systems.

In this assessment, any future military escalation against Iran would be driven more by political considerations than strategic capability, with renewed pressure serving as a distraction from perceived battlefield setbacks.

The commentator further contends that Saudi Arabia's actions against Yemen were encouraged by Washington to divert attention from US difficulties in confronting Iran. According to this perspective, Iranian strikes had disrupted US logistics, supply lines, and military bases, leaving American forces in increasingly vulnerable positions.

As a result, Abbas concludes that the prospects for sustained US military aggression against Iran remain constrained by operational limitations and rising strategic costs.
