Media: A Victory In The War With Iran Would Make The U.S. Much Stronger

Experts cited five reasons.

A military campaign against Iran could not only change the situation in the Middle East but also significantly strengthen the U.S.’s position in the world. There are five factors that will bolster American power and enhance Washington’s ability to deter potential adversaries, writes 19FortyFive.

The first factor will be the rebuilding of the U.S. arsenal. The war exposed the vulnerability of precision-guided munitions stockpiles, but at the same time provided a powerful boost to the defense industry. While at the start of the war in Ukraine, the U.S. was producing about 4,000 155-mm artillery shells per month, the Pentagon now expects to increase production to 100,000.

“The defense industrial base is an integral part of conventional deterrence,” the experts write. The growth in weapons production in the U.S. and Europe will, in the long run, make a potential war with Washington significantly more costly for any adversary.

The second factor is the combination of offensive and defensive capabilities. The U.S. has demonstrated the ability to launch strikes from the air, sea, and land, while simultaneously protecting its forces and infrastructure from missile, drone, and cyberattacks.

The third factor was space infrastructure. During the conflict, satellites provided early warning of missile attacks, communications, and support for drone operations. The war confirmed the strategic importance of U.S. investments in space.

The fourth conclusion concerns so-called hard power. Military power remains the foundation of American influence, and diplomacy and economic tools are more effective when backed by a credible military capability.

Finally, the war demonstrated the importance of allies. The U.S. relied on military bases, logistics, and support from its partners. “Allies are a necessity,” the authors emphasize.

After the war, Washington may emerge with a more powerful defense industry, a combat-ready military, and a reliable system of alliances. This does not guarantee the dawn of an era of peace, but it can make direct conflict with the U.S. significantly riskier for potential adversaries.
