Chair of joint chiefs of staff and others in classified meeting said Iran is trying to get US to spend its munitions
Top military officials told lawmakers in a closed door briefing on Tuesday that they may not be able to shoot down every Iranian drone being launched against US military installations and assets in retaliatory attacks, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The officials, led by the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, Gen Dan Caine, said Iran has been deploying thousands of one-way attack drones and while they have capacity to take down the vast majority but not all of the barrage.
As a result, the officials said in a classified briefing for lawmakers on Capitol Hill, the US was focused on destroying the launch sites for the drones and conventional missiles as quickly as possible. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details.



If they had any sense they would’ve been cooperating with Ukraine for the last year instead of being dicks. Arm them and have a full exchange of knowledge like their ability to knock down hundreds of drones on a DAILY basis. Drones made by Iran.
Instead Trump still has his vendetta against them (Zelenskyy specifically) for not inventing Hunter Biden evidence. And Trump holds a grudge like no other.
Really, their incompetence is the silver lining in all this.
Surely you are not trying to suggest that the US went into this with absolutely no plan whatsoever?
Drink beer, order pizza is a plan.
Is the media talking about the Epstein files?
No?!
Looks like their Pedo War plan is working perfectly!
Oh they had a plan alright. But it was simply the words “attack Iran” on a piece of paper and “where oil”.
