The value of defeat in war
The article discusses the failure of the war launched by the United States against Iran, highlighting that the main declared objectives—such as preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons or reducing its capabilities beyond its borders—were not achieved. Iran has maintained 70% of its missile capabilities. It clarifies that the recent military escalation damages the United States' reputation and strengthens Iran's influence over energy markets, while also undermining American credibility and perpetuating the conflict. The author emphasizes that the best solution is to end the war quickly, as early withdrawal saves lives and resources, increases the likelihood of reducing long-term costs, and allows Washington to learn from previous war experiences by avoiding prolonged escalation that exhausts the military and weakens influence. The article advocates for adopting a more pragmatic and diplomatic approach with Iran, including some concessions to minimize losses and effectively bring the conflict to a close.
