Economic pain dictates end. If oil hits $150/barrel or lucky Iranian strike causes high U.S. casualties, win narrative collapses into "Forever War" liability. Administration likely shifts to "Mission Accomplished" exit to protect its political standing & 2026 midterms.
After hitting fixed sites, U.S. faces "Whack-a-Mole." Iran moves launchers to Zagros Mountains. Finding these requires massive fuel & flight hours for low results. ROI drops once primary targets are gone — only hidden, mobile, low-value threats remain in rugged terrain.
Expending THAAD & SM-6 interceptors in Iran leaves U.S. vulnerable. 30day war could deplete 20% of global stocks. To maintain defense against Russia or China, U.S. must scale back Iranian strikes to preserve high-end reserves needed for other potential global fronts.
U.S. fires $2M missiles at $20K drones. Cost-per-kill math favors Iran. Navy rushes HELIOS lasers to cut costs to pennies per shot, though Gulf humidity and salt spray often disrupt beams, forcing reliance on finite, expensive shipborne missile magazines.
