Elliot Cohen: “The war’s advocates may acknowledge that the Trump administration has done a clumsy job of arguing its case and that it has entered the conflict with only one visible ally, but they view those as venial strategic sins. What they admire is the ferocity of the onslaught against the Islamic Republic and Donald Trump’s apparent willingness to stick it out despite rising oil prices and discontent even among his base.”“They are wrong. In any war, even the most just, maintaining domestic support is essential to victory, because the outcome is inherently uncertain…”“But if the war’s advocates underestimate the extent of the administration’s strategic malpractice, its opponents miss one big thing as well: the Iran problem. The threat posed by the regime is severe, and all previous attempts to deal with it have failed egregiously.”
