By some measures, Operation Epic Fury has been the most powerful and expensive US assault in military history.

In the first 96 hours alone, the US is estimated to have deployed more than 5-thousand munitions in Iran.

That's raised new questions about just how long America can sustain its campaign in the Middle East.

And it's worried allies elsewhere that US forces may no longer be in a position to help in other conflicts.
