Comment on US shifting from precision munitions to 2,000-pound bombs in Iran war, Hegseth says

The US have had air superiority everywhere except Kuwait. Iran had limited air defense systems and just a handful of operational F-14’s from the 70’s when the war broke out. The US just lacks the ability to use hundreds of $10,000,000 missiles a day for longer than a few weeks.
