Banita: Trump lacks clear Iran war plan
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned that the United States faces a major crisis in the war with Iran, comparing the conflict to the lengthy Vietnam War. He pointed out that the Trump administration lacks a clear goal in escalation efforts, and that operations have not led to a change in Iran's behavior. He clarified that the only ideas for achieving influence center on controlling the Strait of Hormuz to ensure freedom of navigation, underscoring that failure to take decisive action will make negotiations more difficult. He also emphasized that the war has caused rising oil prices and increased living costs, and that prospects for ending it are bleak, while Trump is trying to find a political exit.
