But certainly in the interests of Russia & China they could see Iran as their proxy to further weaken the United States.

It's certainly less money that a former POTUS gave to Iran which put us in this position in the first place, that's for another time.

It's certainly less money that a former POTUS gave to Iran which put us in this position in the first place, that's for another time.The US is currently participating in a War with Iran though? The B-2 mission & the AA cost a lot of funds and they just started. The ordinance they expended on the target is a high value asset and the US only has a small number of them.The Iranians have proven designs (in Ukraine) of missiles/drones designed to exhaust Western AA missile stockpiles and make it very expensive. The Patriot AA missile costs more than the missiles that are shot at it and usually a lot more than the object getting struck.If this conflict manages to end soon then it would be money worth spending but if it doesn't and the US has to constantly expend AA missiles/airstrikes in the middle east for years it would cost a lot.
