AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Atlantic, in an analysis, described Trump as defeated in the war and wrote, "War with Iran was entering a costly, entirely predictable quagmire, but Trump entered this war anyway."
"The real failure" was not the inability of the U.S. intelligence community to uncover the truth, but rather Trump's "obstinate reluctance" to accept the bitter facts regarding Iran's defensive power.
Intelligence agencies repeatedly stated that bombing would not lead to Tehran's surrender, but Trump, ignoring these reports, led the country down a path whose end is uncertain.
This obstinacy has now entangled America in a war whose costs exceed the White House's initial expectations.
