Donald Trump’s entire premise for the disastrous, illegal war against Iran — namely, that the U.S. military could topple the Iranian regime, permanently eradicate its nuclear weapons and missile programs, and thereby remake the Middle East — has been exposed as an absurd fantasy. His constant haranguing and threats to destroy Iran are empty, and only further erode U.S. credibility. We cannot “win” the war. Instead, we have given Iran new, unprecedented leverage to control the Strait of Hormuz, enhance its regional influence, economically blackmail the West. MAGA
