“In recent weeks, the U.S. military has been attacking in Iran only during the evening and night hours (Middle Eastern time). Now, attacks are taking place during the day - an escalation.” — Kan Hebrew

Since the start of the U.S.–Iran back-and-forth, Gulf countries and U.S. forces in Jordan, Iraq and gulf countries have been consuming an estimated 8–10 Patriot interceptors per day against Iranian missiles.

As of July 2026, Patriot PAC-3 MSE production is about 1.7 missiles per day (~52 per month), meaning current usage is roughly 5× higher than production.

📝Syria’s official 2026 nominal GDP estimate of around $22 billion understates its real economy due to informal activity, black-market trade, weak reporting, and unrecorded transactions. Similar to Nigeria’s 2014 GDP rebasing, which added $240 billion overnight (from $270B to $510B), Syria’s economy could be reassessed higher.

A realistic estimate is $40-50 billion, with the extra $25–30B coming from informal services, agriculture, trade, remittances, manufacturing, and energy markets.

As Syria’s central bank stabilizes, alongside stronger statistics, improved tax and customs collection, and better administration, more activity will move into official records and GDP figures.

IRGC spokesperson:

The enemy should not think it can turn the war into a war of attrition.

The enemy should not think it can continue the current equation of the conflict and turn the war into a war of attrition.

Currently, Iran's operations are focused on destroying America's offensive infrastructure in the region. Then, the next steps will begin.
