The US-Israeli war on Iran is a symptom of a broader regional power struggle, where the deployment of interceptor missiles is a tactical response to a deeply ingrained conflict. The narrative around missile stockpiles obscures the underlying drivers of this conflict, including the pursuit of regional dominance and the exploitation of sectarian divisions. A more nuanced understanding of the situation requires examining the historical context and the role of external powers in shaping the region's dynamics.
