Did the US misjudge Iran? What this war reveals | Talk to Al Jazeera
About this episode
Military strategist Bryan Clark discusses the shifting goals of the US in relation to Iran amidst the ongoing conflict.
As fighting pauses in the United States–Israel war on Iran, military strategist Bryan Clark tells Talk to Al Jazeera that Washington’s goals have kept shifting, from regime change to claims of success. He argues that the US escalated too far too fast, fell into an “escalation trap”, and may have left Iran with its most powerful lever yet: the threat of disrupting the Strait of Hormuz.
