🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) has published new estimates for the number of standoff munitions the U.S. expended during the 40 day combat period of the 3rd Gulf War.
They believe that ~25% of the JASSM inventory and ~30% of the Tomahawk/TLAM inventory have been expended in those 40 days.
The interceptor stocks are even more depleted, with estimates varying from 31-60% for the SM-3 interceptor to 16-32% for the SM-6 interceptor to 52-81% for the THAAD interceptor being expended.
CSIS has calculated that it would take 4 years to replenish the inventories of the standoff munitions used and more than 5 years to replenish the interceptor inventories.
Renewed hostilities between Iran, Israel and the U.S. would see the interceptor inventories go extinct while the standoff munitions inventories would be degraded even further.
📝 Patarames: U.S. airpower can generate vast, destructive firepower
But up until now, it used primarily 'luxury' assets, stand-off missiles to limit shot-downs
This enabled the chance of a clean, flawless military campaign against Iran
IF losses would be accepted, e.g. ~5-10 aircrafts lost per day, U.S. airpower could fly large-scale bombing raids into Iran with heavy, low-cost munitions like Mk84 bombs, GBU-28s, MOABs and GBU-57A/B MOPs
Only such a sacrificing, high-intensity warfare campaign could disable Iran's Ballistic Missile long-range strike capability
Hence if Trump would accept the loss of several hundred aircraft and their crews he would have a kinetic-option against Iran which does not require war-crimes, counter-value methods.
But 2026 U.S. society is not that of the Vietnam War, to let U.S. seriously think about such a scenario.

Most people check the ingredients in their food. But what about the light bulbs in their homes?
As the days shorten, we spend more time under artificial light. Yet most people choose their lighting without considering what it means for their health.
Here I explore the forgotten research on natural and artificial light, why the differences extend far beyond vitamin D, and what deserves a closer look in your own home:

🇺🇸🇳🇱🇦🇿🇦🇪 — A new book alleges that Dutch intelligence hacked the phone of Jared Kushner, U.S. President Trump's son-in-law, and monitored him accessing a Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars transferred from a bank in Azerbaijan.
The claim comes from an excerpt of 'Princes and Thieves', a book by investigative journalist Matthew Cole about Kushner and Emirati President Mohamed bin Zayed.
Cole says a source he considered reliable told him in spring 2020 that Kushner appeared to transfer large sums from the account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary, and a former hitman.
The excerpt's headline says the transfers totaled more than $700 million and that the bank accounts linked Kushner and former senior adviser to Israel, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
