Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, has hailed the historic striking of an American F-35 stealth fighter by Iranian forces, declaring that the destruction of this symbol of US arrogance marks the collapse of the Western-led world order.

Iranian armed forces and resistance groups across the region continued to carry out retaliatory military operations against the US and the Israeli regime on Friday, March 13.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has burned through “years” of critical munitions since the start of its aggression on Iran, a report says.

A report says Iran’s “low-cost arsenal” is draining multi-million-dollar US interceptors, putting a historic strain on Pentagon inventories.

As the war against Iran enters its twelfth day, the US military is struggling with severe shortages of air defense missiles in the region, according to an informed military source.

US military aggression against Iran is already carrying a multibillion-dollar price tag, with early estimates suggesting American taxpayers have absorbed more than $1 billion in costs in the early days of the war.

Military recruitment in the United States has risen significantly amid economic strain in other sectors, drawing disproportionately from working-class and rural communities.
