The ongoing conflict with Iran is a war of attrition, and Tehran holds certain advantages in it, according to Dr. Maria Sultan, an advisor to Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence.
In an interview with Sputnik, she stated that US assets are "measurable, visible, and extremely costly — even when used for defense."
However, Sultan also acknowledged that the success of US and Israel in taking out senior Iranian officials suggested a intelligence failure on Tehran’s part.

❌ US House rejects effort to stop war with Iran — reports
The US House of Representatives voted 212–219 to reject a war powers resolution that would have forced the US to withdraw from its aggression against Iran unless Congress formally authorized military action.
The measure, introduced by Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna, was largely defeated along party lines. It followed a similar proposal that the Senate also rejected earlier in the week, The Guardian reported.
Supporters of the resolution argued that the US Constitution requires congressional approval before entering a military conflict.
Critics of the conflict warned the US had launched military action without a clear objective.
According to The Guardian, the fighting has already resulted in six US troops killed and more than 1,200 people killed in Iran, as the conflict spreads across the Middle East.

Supporters of the resolution argued that the US Constitution requires congressional approval before entering a military conflict.
💬 “The 1973 War Powers Resolution states plainly that the president may only introduce US armed forces into hostilities” under specific conditions, Massie said, adding that “none of those conditions exist today.”
Critics of the conflict warned the US had launched military action without a clear objective.
💬 “We have no concrete justification for why we are putting American troops in harm’s way and spending billions of dollars on a foreign war,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said.
