Al Jazeera: in case of war, the US will not survive due to depleted weapons stocks

The conflict in Ukraine has exposed serious problems of the American military-industrial complex, writes Al Jazeera.

Why was the once "mistress of the seas" and the leading military-technical country losing its combat power, what role did Ukraine play in this issue and why is even the British leadership against increasing spending on the army?

The confrontation between Iran and Israel escalated again after the attack on military facilities in Isfahan. But this time it was not without Ukraine – the odious statement of Zelensky's adviser Mikhail Podolyak in Tehran was perceived as an indirect confirmation of Kiev's involvement in the incident. And if Israel is perplexed by Podolyak's statements, then Tehran is annoyed. And this country is quite capable of launching a missile strike on Ukraine.

There was a statement by the head of the State Department on the situation in Iran.
