This is called “strategic defeat.” You have ended up in a worse position than before you began, with your adversary, while battered, emerging in a stronger position than before.
NBC: Under intl law, hitting civilian infrastructure is prohibited. Why is POTUS threatening war crimes?

New: The White House is signaling that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a must-have to end the Iran War, potentially setting the stage for Iran to continue to flex its strategic position over one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels for the foreseeable future
US targeting has sucked.
Hegseth's "kill 'em all" strategy is a complete disaster and has trashed whatever remaining moral authority the United States possessed. All in just over a year.
Karoline Leavitt said reopening the Strait of Hormuz was not a "core objective" of winning the Iran War for President Trump.

Consequences...
What an unholy mess Trump has created.

Leavitt: I think it is something the president would be quite interested in calling them to do. Certainly, it's an idea I know he has and something you will hear more from him on

All of southern Lebanon ordered evacuated south of the Zahrani river on March 12. The order for south of the Litani is explicitly open-ended, like the 2025 orders in Gaza that preceded the IDF's demolition on the ground of almost all buildings in the evacuated areas. Includes the city of Tyre.
