The conflict between Iran and the US/Israel has taken a surprising turn, with Iran's low-cost drones and missiles proving effective against the US military's expensive weaponry. Iran's 'Hormuz weapon' has targeted civilian energy infrastructure and commercial oil tankers, taking the global fossil-fuel economy hostage. The US and Israel have destroyed many Iranian targets, but at a high cost, depleting fragile stockpiles of expensive munitions. In contrast, Iran's drones and missiles are cheap and abundant.
