🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — The war with Iran, now in its seventh month, has led US allies to question the American administration’s ability to effectively deter its adversaries and project power globally, Politico reported on Friday.

Besides, the newspaper argued, Washington’s inability to defeat Tehran, dwindling weapons stockpiles and distancing from allies have led US military officials to question whether the United States maintains its clout. According to Politico, America has notably reduced its military presence in the Pacific Ocean and in Europe.
