"Even though the joint United States-Israeli war on Iran is in its early days, we already are in a scenario where the US has lost control of this war, argues Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University."
"Iran is the weaker party, but it has the capability to create a much longer mayhem than envisioned by the US and Israel. US goals for this war may be unclear, but Israel's goal is to arrive at a point where it's the supreme power in the Mideast."
Political scientist Vali Nasr argues that despite being the weaker party, Iran possesses the capability to prolong the conflict far beyond what the United States and Israel anticipated. The US-Israeli war against Iran is in its early phases, yet control of the conflict has already slipped from American hands. While US objectives remain unclear, Israel's strategic goal is to establish itself as the dominant regional power in the Middle East. Iran's ability to create extended disruption and mayhem represents a significant challenge to the coalition's war objectives.
