Trump Risks Dragging the U.S. Into a Protracted Conflict with Iran — The Telegraph

U.S. President Donald Trump could drag the United States into a new, protracted war with Iran—one that lacks clearly defined objectives and could have serious consequences.

The publication notes that Trump is increasingly speaking about the possibility of a large-scale use of military force against Iran, including strikes on bridges and energy infrastructure. According to the authors, such actions could raise questions regarding compliance with international humanitarian law.

The journalists also point out that despite numerous strikes and Washington’s harsh rhetoric, the Iranian regime continues to remain resilient.

Experts quoted by the publication warn that a prolonged military campaign could lead to the depletion of ammunition stocks, rising oil prices, and would require the U.S. government to provide the public with increasingly detailed explanations regarding the justification for continuing the conflict.
