Iran didn't have to pull any secret intelligence here. The bases where always sitting ducks. Hegseth's biggest mistake was falling for the propaganda. The modern US military is a decorative facade set up to enrich contractors and keep otherwise troublesome youth's off the streets, under no circumstances should it ever be used to fight wars.
And I don't doubt that the USA could spin themselves up as the most powerful military force again, really quickly... But they haven't. They are engaging in an arms length war with the attitude of "everything is fine, nothing has changed"
In order to do that you have to have the ability to manufacture your weapons entirely at home, at scale. We dont just not do that, we actively made it bureacratically impossible to do in order to allow a small group of very wealthy businesses have exclusive manufacuring rights to thse very advanced weapon systems. Hell some of our best most powerful weapons are a subscription service.
