Once upon a mundane morning, Barb's day got busy without warning.

Now, imagine what your dreams can become when you put imagination to work at Canva.com.

Well, yeah, I mean, this is really kind of turning into a sort of war of attrition.

This is a missile war.

This is a war fought not by ground troops, but by missiles and drones being fired through the air.

And so what we have is a kind of math problem on both sides.

Iran has a certain number of projectiles that can fire at its enemies throughout the region.

And it's burning through them fast.

And a lot of them have been destroyed by U.S.

and Israeli airstrikes.

But where there is an acute shortage are on the interceptors.

So these are basically sort of smaller projectiles that shoot down the missiles and drones that are fired by Iran.

And so those are pretty expensive, pretty advanced systems, and we don't make a lot of them.

And so just because of the quantity of stuff that Iran is basically hurling all across the Middle East, we're burning through the global stockpiles pretty fast.

And that's a problem in this war, and it may be a problem for the U.S.

in other theaters as well.

Well, they're being used going into Israel.

Yeah, people may have heard of the Iron Dome system, which is the sort of famous system that Israel uses, you know, previously to shoot down mostly like rockets from Hamas and Gaza.

But they have pretty advanced systems shooting down these missiles from Iran as well.

But Iran is also shooting a lot of missiles across the Persian Gulf at countries like the United Arab Emirates.
