US shifting war objectives
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly shifted his war objectives after Iranian resistance thwarted Washington’s anticipated goals. US Vice President J.D. Vance has said keeping oil and gas prices low is now a top priority for the United States in its war on Iran.
Trump’s initial objectives included Iranian capitulation and regime change, but the US military now finds itself caught in what has become a quagmire in the Strait of Hormuz. The US has also suffered its heaviest aircraft losses per sortie since World War II amid the confrontation.
This edition of Spotlight examines the reasons behind Washington’s failures in the war against Iran and the repeated shifts in its objectives.
