1:40Now PlayingDrop Site's Murtaza Hussain and Sarmad Jawad argue that the failure of the Patriot air defence system is ultimately due to a failed startegy from the very top of American leadership, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.
The failed strategy is coupled with capable execution by Iran in systematically overwhelming the Patriot, using advanced missiles to bypass it and actually targeting and destroying some of the systems.
To continue the war vs Iran, Trump must accept higher casualty numbers, something he has vehemently been trying to avoid.
