Iran Shifts to “Full-Scale War” Mode — U.S. Faces Risk of Missile Shortages | Douglas Macgregor Breaking news from the Middle East is raising fears that the U.S.-Iran war may be entering a far more dangerous phase. In this discussion, Col. Douglas Macgregor warns that Iran has moved to a “full war footing” as military tensions escalate around the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. forces intensify operations against Iranian targets. Macgregor argues that Iran is mobilizing for a major conflict while the United States is not prepared for a prolonged war. He points to growing concerns over U.S. missile supplies, warning that the Navy has more launchers and launch tubes than available missiles to fire. At the same time, Iran has reportedly placed its armed forces on the highest state of alert, moved into wartime conditions, and shipped millions of barrels of oil abroad amid fears of a blockade or a longer confrontation. The discussion also examines President Donald Trump’s strategy toward Iran and whether Washington has any achievable military objective. Macgregor questions what continued U.S. strikes can realistically accomplish, arguing that more bombing is unlikely to force Iran into surrender or break Tehran’s determination to control access through the Strait of Hormuz. As the Iran war intensifies, Macgregor warns of consequences far beyond the battlefield. Oil prices could surge dramatically, inflation could worsen, and pressure on the U.S. financial system could become severe. His central warning is stark: Iran appears prepared to defend its position and fight “to the last missile,” while the United States could eventually be forced to end the war by depleted weapons, rising oil prices, or a deepening financial crisis. With Trump under growing pressure, the U.S.-Iran war and Iran-Israel conflict could push the Middle East toward an even wider confrontation.
