As the war in Iran drags into its fourth week, the direct and indirect costs of the conflict are beginning to mount, highlighting a longstanding challenge of replenishing weaponry and other military assets while waging what some describe as "asymmetric" warfare in a far-flung part of the world.
The U.S. and Israel are deploying costly sophisticated weaponry against the less expensive but highly cost-effective arms being used by Iran, a fact that has brought the evolving dynamics of modern warfare into sharper focus.
