Donald Trump’s war with Iran is likely to drag on for another six months, Leon Panetta, the former US defense secretary, has warned, as the US president struggles to find his way out of the controversial conflict.
Panetta declared in an interview that the war with Iran – launched by Trump over six months ago – risks becoming another “forever war in the Middle East”, with no clear end in sight.
“It’s no mystery that the United States and Iran are caught in a terrible stalemate, in which there really are very few options available to bring this war to an end,” said Panetta, who also served as CIA director under Barack Obama, suggesting the conflict is on course to become “another failed war” in the Middle East “like Iraq and Afghanistan”.
Iran isn’t really in a stalemate, they’re in a holding position while they pick pick pick away at US bases, assets, and allies in the area.
Liberals don’t yet understand that war has changed. There isn’t going to be a forever war because the US is going to be defeated.
Yup because more and more the resources needed to restock and rearm will be farther and farther away and units sent into the strait will be logistically isolated. This is modern day supply line disruption via drones. Eventually I do feel once enough bases and staging areas are destroyed or compromised Iran might push a bit harder on the blockade but currently their content to repeatedly bleed the US.
Going to be? It has already lost.
The US is like a chicken running with its head cut off at this point.
