Former US Secretary of Defense: If a new war starts, we should expect asymmetric reactions from Iran.
US officials, analysts and defense industry experts say the United States has consumed much of its stockpile of essential munitions during the war.
This reduction especially includes interceptor missiles, which are used to prevent incoming Iranian drones and missiles, and are difficult to replace.
Former US Defense Secretary Mark Esper said: "If a new campaign is launched, we should expect asymmetric responses from Iran, including drone and missile attacks on military and civilian infrastructure in the region."
He added: "An important question is whether our partners have the inventory of interceptors necessary to defend against these attacks in a long-term period."
