One reason the US has so few defensive missiles is because while the military has said we need more, politicians have not appropriated the money.
As far as offensive munitions, the US has enough to fight Iran, but long term, the US doesn’t have what it needs in the event of a war against China.

“U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation, two U.S. officials told Reuters.”

Kristi Noem appears to have corruptly wasted a lot of taxpayer money.

Israel previously destroyed Iranian mixers needed to make medium range ballistic missiles. This was supposed to keep production offline for at least a year, but the Chinese gave Iran the equipment needed to rebuild the program. Iran decided to build way more of these missiles than before. These are a huge threat to Israel.

Killed Iranian leader, Khamenei, wanted to be America’s enemy. He even admitted that he thought his revolution needed enmity with the US.
Usually, when violence ends an authoritarian regime, it results in a new authoritarian government.
If Iranians think the US is arming sectarian factions in order to break up Iran, even Iranians who are against the regime may join with the regime to defeat the US encouraging sectarian rebellions.

Prediction markets are for some reason regulated as investments, when really they are gambling. They are prone to manipulation–not just insider trading, but someone can pay a person to throw a dildo in a basketball game and then bet that someone will throw a dildo in a basketball game; someone can bet that a certain guy will get punched in the face, and then go punch that guy in the face.

Trump falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen, and then he tried to steal that election himself, and is now trying to steal future elections. US democracy is under threat.
If you are disenfranchising millions of Americans to stop a few dozen potential illegal voters, then your goals are to make it harder to vote, rather than to secure the election, unless you are just ignorant of the facts.
Kansas tried a documentary proof of citizenship law in 2011 and it blocked 31,000 citizens from voting–12% of first time registrants.
The founders intentionally did not give the president the power to regulate elections because they feared something like a king or a dictator. Yet, Trump is claiming such powers.

The problem wasn’t that Trump didn’t evacuate Americans from the area in advance, that would cause a panic and give a tell that we were attacking. The problem is that we didn’t have a plan to get them out at all! That makes it seem like the administration did not expect Iran’s reaction even though a large and deadly reaction should be expected when we are trying to eliminate their regime.

Trump told Iranians to surrender, but there was no one to surrender to. There were no revolutionary forces or US troops on the ground.
The US cut off their Farsi service before attacking Iran and telling their people to rise up.

Israel sees Iran as an existential threat and is happy to see Iran greatly weakened so Israel can have some temporary breathing room.
This doesn’t match American interests. Iran is not the same level of threat to the United States. Using blood, treasure, and munitions to temporarily weaken Iran is a large net bad for the US. This war is only worth it for the US if Iran gets a friendlier regime or has a long term change in behavior.
