The Washington Post reported that the United States is at a strategic disadvantage in the conflict with Iran, with goals not achieved and costs high. The conflict has cost approximately $38.1 billion, exposing the vulnerability of the US military and causing global energy shortages. The Iranian proxy network remains intact, with Houthi militants controlling the Mandeb Strait. Iran's missile and drone capabilities continue to exist, and Iran still holds approximately 440 kg of highly enriched uranium. The support for the conflict in the United States has declined, with congressional Republicans calling for an end to the conflict and even some lawmakers proposing to impeach the Secretary of Defense.
