Iran is fricking joke, and I blame Trump totally, this could have been over in 6 weeks and forgotten about, but Trump the ego maniac couldnt help himself trying to inflate his stature by ceasefiring the American people into a coma, and for what ? Diesel prices through the ceiling. Diesel does everything in this economy and Trump f'ed it all to hell.

Wait, I thought we did that back at the first of the year after we bombed their nuclear facilities.
No but don’t you see, they were two weeks away from the bomb again after we blew up that site.

I don't even know what the frick we're supposed to be doing there.
Iran is a larger scale show of how our new warfighting doctrine (MDO) functions. Multi-Domain Operations were just a theory until Venezuela became the proof of concept. "We" needed a larger scale foe to show its effectiveness to China. We chose Iran. MDO functioned really well.
The problem stems from the fact Iran and the IRGC has a very decentralized control structure and can practice distributed and network-centric warfare. That coupled with the ease of impacting the SoH (fear is enough) made it difficult to declare victory. We showed China what we wanted them to see but we got stuck in an Oriental finger trap.
Trump played the WMD card publically but the real reason was China. Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Iran were all about China. He couldn't say the quiet part and now the public is confused and taking it out on him. We needed a better option than Iran, but it probably doesn't exist at this time.

Trump was disillusioned that the Iran population would rise up and overthrow the regime.
