U.S. Appears Headed for a Strategic Defeat in Iran
To America’s allies, President Trump’s war in Iran, now in its sixth month, seems headed for a strategic defeat.
They worry that the inability of the United States to turn military superiority into a sustainably changed Iran has displayed a vulnerability that Russia and China will welcome. In addition, Mr. Trump’s goals remain unmet, and the U.S. military is running short on key armaments that it needs for global reach.
For the moment, Iran is seemingly resolute under a more radical government, its nuclear and ballistic missile programs are degraded but not destroyed, and the Strait of Hormuz is effectively under its control. The war has left both the United States and Israel in weaker positions — and blaming each other for the mess.

For sale: early access to Trump's Truth Social posts
"It's insane," said one Wall Street executive, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation from the Trump administration.
“I can say for myself and 200 of my friends in finance, we're not getting anywhere near this. In another administration, this would be considered criminal."
