Munitions Running Low? Iran's Hypersonic Missile Gambit

• 1:11:29Tim asks about claims that US munitions stockpiles are running low after supplying Ukraine and Israel.
• 1:12:10Jeremy discusses whether Israel might resort to nuclear weapons if losing the war and running out of conventional munitions.
• 1:13:00Iran claims it has deployed only older missiles from 2010-2014 and hasn't yet used its most modern long-range systems.
• 1:13:41Defense systems like THAAD and Patriot radars appear to be failing in some Gulf countries, with sirens not going off as missiles hit.
• 1:14:21US and Israel can continue bombing but will have to risk putting planes at lower altitude after failing to fully decimate Iran's air defenses.
• 1:15:12Iran's strategy from the beginning: appear to be getting destroyed early while holding back most powerful systems to capitalize on enemy exhaustion.
• 1:15:46Jeremy explains that Iran is using cluster munitions to trigger air defense systems so larger missiles can penetrate, though cluster bombs are universally considered heinous weapons.
• 1:16:36Hypersonic missiles are much faster and have greater capacity to defeat US and Israeli defense technology than conventional ballistic missiles.
• 1:17:10If US-Israeli high-end defense technology gets depleted, Israel could face much heavier damage from Iran's advanced hypersonic strikes.
• 1:17:23Jeremy emphasizes Iran has made these claims about superior weapons for a long time and the true capabilities will be tested very soon.
