Iran & Middle East

The US military will go along with an Iran war because of institutional hubris from the 2003 Iraq victory.

The US military carried out the June 2025 strikes and the 2026 air and naval war (Operation Epic Fury) without any institutional refusal. His stated cause, 'hubris' from the Iraq war, cannot be checked.

War & WWIII

Shock and awe will not work against Iran because Iran is mountainous, not desert.

The 28 Feb 2026 air campaign killed Supreme Leader Khamenei and many officials, but it did not force Iran to capitulate or collapse. The war dragged on through a failed ceasefire and was still unresolved in Oct 2026. Whether this was because of Iran's mountainous terrain is unproven.
