Is the U.S. chasing “nuclear dust” in a conflict with no clear endgame? 🚨
Former Marine officer (@JamesWebb_16) joins Daniel Davis Deep Dive to break down the shifting objectives of the Iran war, from leadership strikes to the current Strait of Hormuz crisis.
Webb warns that the closed strait is “a problem that we created,” noting that this was always Iran’s “most probable and most dangerous course of action” when faced with an existential threat.
Despite the rhetoric, Webb is blunt about the military reality: “We do not have the assets in the region to conduct a major ground operation.” 📉
Furthermore, he dismisses talk of seizing resources, labeling it “very much illegal and quite a return to mercantilism.”
The Middle East conflict has reached a critical juncture where U.S. strategy appears to be drifting through its “fifth or sixth different objective.”
