Because the military industrial complex is acting like socialist jobs program.
If the USA could produce 4000 tomahawks per day, instead of 400 per year the Iran thing would be over.
Also USA is very sensitive about the other side's civilian deaths.

I'd argue that it's not sensitive enough. We've bombed schools and desalination plants.
If your goal in a war is to topple a regime and prop up a more friendly one, then you can't just bomb them to submission. All that does is topple the regime and replace it with a probably worse one. You need to convince the population that the new regime is actually better, and you don't convince anyone of anything by killing their kids.
Well depends what you compare against. Also its generally not worth wasting precision munitions (you have a limited amount of them to start with) on non military targets.
Its literally bragging about the oposite while intentionally killing civilians.
USA is just not sensitive to that. It is sensitive to lives of own soldiers, very much.
USA is attacking desalination plants and civilian infrastructure. It was doing it in the first stage of the war and led with those attacks in the second.
USA is killing fishermen in pacific. Just to make Hegseth feel like manly man. USA is engineering human catastrophe in Cuba. And it is supporting genocide in Gaza.
