Hi All, I originally pressed send on this piece before Trump announced his ceasefire of sorts. I went ahead and updated it with information about that. What Trump has done is strongly support the central argument of the piece. The US does not want regime change in Iran and might be pursuing the worst example of “mowing the grass” in history.

Hi All, just sent out this piece. In the constant changes and instabilities surrounding US victory goals against Iran, one thing is clear. The Trump administration is attempting a US version of "mowing the grass". This is probably the worst strategic concept of my life. Ugh.

Seems both men running a war are clueless - what could possibly go wrong.
Mykhailo Rohoza@MykhailoRohoza
Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Secretary of Defense, commented on the shortage of Tomahawk missiles in the U.S., claiming that “weapon stockpiles were depleted back under Biden due to shipments to Ukraine.” In reality, the U.S. has never supplied Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine — Hegseth is simply lying. They started a war without having the cards, and now they’re blaming Ukraine.

Our global climate is in a state of emergency.
The latest @WMO report clearly shows that every key climate indicator is flashing red.
The way ahead must be grounded in science, common sense & the courage to take urgent #ClimateAction.

So Trump pauses strikes on Iranian infrastructure pending talks that may lead to end of hostilities. The mind-boggling expense to every combatant let alone the rest of the world is the most important reason it cannot last long. $200bn bid from the Pentagon? Obliteration of Iran?
Will Hutton@williamnhutton
What ultimately will bring an end to the Iran war is its incredible direct cost to the combatants. Pentagon wants Trumps approval for a mindboggling $200 bn request to Congress. Iran needs oil revenues for reconstruction. Israel relies on US subventions. All unsustainable.

Does Trump really believe he can inflict military pain on Iran more intense than the economic pain Iran can exert on the world? Iran’s dictatorship cares about its power far more than the Iranian people, while Trump's Republicans face midterm elections.

Those of us who warned that the Afghan war would end in defeat, that the Iraq and Libyan wars would be disasters, are now saying that British involvement in Trump/Netanyahu's Iran war is both illegal and wrong. And we are the majority.

"We are on the cusp of another major escalation... He is making it up as he goes along." Lord Ricketts, former national security adviser, criticises President Trump, accusing him of 'floundering around with massive stakes' in the conflict in the Middle East.
