The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous.
The massive American armada, the largest since the Iraq War, and warplanes in West Asian bases, in coordination with the Israeli military, launched a pre-emptive attack on Iran on February 28.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several top officials were killed. A new Supreme Leader has just been named.
The second attack was inevitable considering how Donald Trump bought time while keeping Iran engaged in nuclear talks last June, yet attacking its three nuclear facilities. This time, too, the US president adopted the same tactic, using his envoy, Steve Witkoff.
The strikes could drag on, engulfing the region, with Trump saying that the operation could last for four weeks.
As expected, Iran retaliated with a volley of ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones against Israel and eight other nations hosting US bases.
Both Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have stated that regime change in Iran is the goal. However, is this war only about regime change, ending Iran’s nuclear ambition and ballistic missile programme and permanently debilitating Israel’s arch-enemy?
Like the several prolonged wars the US started in the last few decades, the latest one might end up making Iran unstable if the regime falls.
The four most prominent examples of the American war machine dragging to failure are: Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine.
What pays the most and who profits from these American wars?
