Three Months in, Is Trump Losing the Iran War?
The campaign has damaged Iran’s military but left its nuclear program, proxy support and regional leverage largely intact, analysts say.
- Three months after initiating "Operation Epic Fury" against Iran on February 28, President Donald Trump faces mounting questions about the campaign's success as the conflict has lasted twice the initial six-week timeframe.
- Despite initial military strikes degrading Iran's capabilities, Tehran maintains its nuclear program and retains control over the Strait of Hormuz, preventing Trump from achieving his stated objectives of ending regional threats and forcing regime change.
- White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said the U.S. "met or surpassed all of our military objectives," yet analyst Aaron David Miller countered that the campaign is "turning into a long-term strategic failure" lacking clear endgame strategy.
- Trump faces mounting domestic pressure from high gasoline prices and eroding support within the Republican Party, while European allies have largely refused to assist in a war they were not consulted about beforehand.
- Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, warned in the Atlantic that "there will be no return to the status quo ante," while analysts suggest the conflict may prompt Iran to accelerate nuclear weapons development.
