The reality of the Israel-Iran conflict: the challenge of victory

The United States and Israel have launched an attack on Iran, targeting civilian and military leadership. While Israel claims success in eliminating top Iranian officials, Tehran denies any leadership deaths. Iran retaliated swiftly with ballistic missile strikes on US and Israeli bases, signaling a potentially prolonged conflict. US President Trump faces domestic opposition to the war, with low public support and potential political consequences. The goal of regime change adds complexity to the conflict, as Washington and Tel Aviv seek to pressure Iran without destabilizing the region further.
