The United States has failed to achieve its strategic objectives against Iran and is now seeking negotiations to recover what it could not secure through military action, accodring to an analyst.
Political analyst and military expert Ali Hamie argues that Washington's goals have steadily narrowed, from pursuing regime change to focusing on Iran's nuclear and missile programs, while Tehran has strengthened its military capabilities and maintained its ability to retaliate.
He also discusses what he describes as advances in Iran's missile accuracy and drone technology, questions the sustainability of US military operations due to ammunition and air-defense constraints, and explains why he believes the balance of endurance favors Iran over the United States in a prolonged confrontation.
