If he’s talking gorilla action, I can believe that. But on the flip side, if we’re talking a knock down drag out, Russia had the deepest weapon stockpiles in the world, and they couldn’t make it 3 years before they started running short on things. I’ve heard they’re craft building fpv drones to make up for the lack of precision strike munitions.
Also, didn’t Iran just get its tail handed to it due, in large part, to their inability to control their own airspace. They should pipe down.

Honestly them showcasing that they can actually overwhelm US/Israel defense systems was a huge win. It was first time they shown that attacking them will have real consequences. And while that won't lead to a change in US or Israel foreign policy, Iran's weapons will now have a much higher demand and price as a result.

But, despite the provocative nature of the attacks, there is no indication that Ansarallah has violated its existing ceasefire agreement with the U.S. or that it plans to resume attacks against U.S. shipping in the region. The truce between Ansarallah and the Trump administration, which was mediated by Oman and signed in May, strictly covered direct strikes between the two entities. After weeks of fighting, the two sides agreed to a ceasefire in which the Yemeni group would agree to stop targeting U.S. ships in the Red Sea in exchange for an end to the U.S. bombing campaign.
