The United States is known as a country with the strongest military and weaponry in the world. Its arsenal includes sophisticated weapons, such as the Titan II missile, capable of striking targets up to 15,000 kilometers away.

Its explosive power reaches nine megatons, three times the combined power of all bombs used in World War II, including atomic bombs. However, this missile is no longer in use. The shortest-range missile currently possessed by the US is the Lance, with a range of 130 kilometers. This is significantly more powerful than Iran's shortest-range missile, the Koksan M1978, which has a range of only 60 kilometers.

Currently, tensions between the United States (US) and Iran are escalating. Previously, the US attacked Baghdad (Iraq) using an MQ-9 Reaper drone. This attack resulted in the death of Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, provoking retaliation against the US. Many fear this conflict could escalate into World War III.
