As the US pauses the war with Iran, is Trump really running out of weapons?

Iran's military losses have been far greater than America's following wave after wave of US and Israeli strikes - and the country has extremely limited ability to address those shortages anytime soon.

"A lot of commentary portrays Iran as having an almost unlimited amount of weaponry," says Jason Brodsky, policy director of United Against Nuclear Iran.

"I think we have to realise that there are limitations there, and that the US has degraded their defence industrial base to a very significant extent," he says.

He adds that Iran's "capacity to produce, at scale, the kinds of missiles, drones and other weapons systems" it needs has been largely destroyed.
