I believe the USA and the West, including Israel are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for rare earth elements to replenish their weapons lost in Ukraine and Middle East. How many of the 20,000 missiles have been expended to take down all the cheap drones, rockets and missiles fired by Iran? Why is there a need to transfer those missiles from Ukraine to Israel when Ukraine is needing them badly? Making new missiles for Israel is probably out of the question with China's ban on rare earth exports. I think they have largely exhausted their ability to make new weapons, which is why Israel is dragging the USA into the war. Remember that Israel is also having to shoot down missiles fired by the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas.
And delusional Trump is calling for Iran's unconditional surrender. Is an Israeli victory already secured to make his call to Iran to surrender a reality? Is the USA really going to enter the war? The USA is not even prepared to have an all-out war with the Houthis by having boots on the ground in Yemen. Remember that the Houthis have been engaged in a war with Saudi Arabia for years, with the latter supported by the USA with no crushing defeat of the Houthis in sight. Crushing an ideology is different from crushing a country like Iraq or Libya. There is no country to crush in a war with the Houthis, Hezbollah or Hamas.

Analysts are saying that two interceptor missiles needed to be fired to take down one incoming. The biggest exposed being narrated was why is the IDF headquarters and the stock exchange building being hit, knowing they ought to be heavily protected. Some things do not make sense.
Iran has launched its seventeenth missile attacks so far and must have more in reserve knowing the USA might enter the war. So far, Iran has shown no indication of stopping its attacks on Israel nor being dumbstruck with terror over Trump's demand to surrender unconditionally.
What are the chances of a peace deal? Iran already indicated that a peace negotiation can only go ahead if Israel stops its attack, which is not happening. Most analysts are saying that only Putin or Xi can bring about a peace negotiation, not the USA nor the Europeans. The Europeans already failed. Iran is not going to listen nor trust the Europeans who are drinking from the same trough as the USA and Israel.
Rare earth elements will be the decisive factor in the current wars in Ukraine and Middle East and the coming war involving China. Irrespective of the narrative about military supremacy in terms of weaponry, the crux of the balance of power will be in the hands of China and Russia.
