You might not think it from the near-constant footage of bombs raining onto Tehran, but the United States and Israel do not have an unlimited supply of missiles. Each missile is a complex piece of equipment requiring specialized manufacturing facilities that can’t be scaled up overnight, and each comes with a hefty price tag of around $1 million.
All of which means that every single missile that doesn’t land where it should is a gain for Iran and a loss for Israel and the United States. And so Iran is breaking out the Acme catalogue and pulling a Wile E. Coyote.
