”Miscalculation“ implies there was initially some calculation by Trump. Bless your heart.I really think we're near the end. Trump is clearly bluffing in the hope that Iran will capitulate and he'll have something he can try to spin as a win. Won't happen and he'll pull out within a month is my prediction.
Look for him to bomb the shit out of Pickaxe Mountain and then claim the nukes are gone and our work is done.
That would still leave a shit-ton of questions, and there'd be more than a little lingering doubt about whether their nuclear program is kaput, but I could see him doing that.
This war has been a fiasco, with one miscalculation after another.
"The lack of clarity on the administration’s goals for the war — whether it’s preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, ensuring the Strait of Hormuz is open or destroying Iran’s missile and drone programs — has made planning an endgame difficult, the US official says.
The military has been preparing for a renewed major offensive without clear guidance, the US official tells NBC News.
“'We have had a series of tactical victories,' the official says. 'But are facing a strategic defeat without clear policy guidance or a decision about where this is going.'”

What if it is collateral prevention of iran's assistance to Russia, without saying that it is preventing iran's assistance to russia?
