U.S. Arsenal Depletion Prevents Renewed Iran War According to Defense Analyst

What was said

"We are depleted. And furthermore, it's going to take a while for us to really have that fighting force back. There's a full-blown arsenal crisis here. Israel has it too, not the case for Iran. The president is aware we don't have the weapons we do. That's why he's saying August 18th is no longer a hard deadline, it's a soft deadline."

Brandon Weikert, author of The Weikert Brief, argues that U.S. military arsenal depletion is the real reason preventing renewed conflict with Iran, not diplomatic progress. He claims both the U.S. and Israel are suffering from weapons shortages while Iran is not, forcing Trump to extend deadlines and buy time for rearmament. This assessment contradicts official narratives about the reasons for pursuing diplomacy.
