“The United States is not going to win this war with Iran. The good news is that we do not need to. There was no good reason for the Israeli–U.S. attack in the first place, and American security does not require us to win anything new from Tehran—not the regime change President Donald Trump fantasizes about, not the militarily-crippled Iran his defense secretary describes as the goal, not even the nuclear deal Washington might have had before it chose war. The United States can simply stop. It can declare a phony victory and even call it the ‘unconditional surrender’ Trump demands.” (03/21/26)
