Trump’s chaotic war on Iran has dragged into its sixth week because he is fighting an adversary he doesn’t understand | Nesrine Malik
We are now five weeks in and entering the sixth week of the war on Iran. The mistake, as ever, is a combination of hubris and ignorance, flaws made even more serious by the particularities of the Iranian regime. Because it remains inconceivable to some that a superior military power would not swiftly achieve its objectives. And the Iranian regime remains unvanquished, inflicting rising costs in US military equipment and personnel. So much of the region’s politics has been defined by countries falling in behind American power.
