"The targets have reflected the Trump administration's stated multipronged war aims, offering several avenues for Trump to claim some level of success and attempt to disengage."
"A halt in American bombing alone will neither stop the war nor necessarily open the Strait [of Hormuz], let alone lead to security in the Gulf."
"Three weeks in, the fighting has broadly fallen into three phases, according to Hamidreza Azizi, a visiting fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs."
The Trump administration has presented various objectives for the US-Israeli war with Iran, including military destruction, leadership decapitation, and nuclear program elimination. Military targets indicate a prioritization of these goals, raising questions about the US's endgame and its alignment with Israel's ambitions. Analysts suggest that the diverse objectives provide options for disengagement but also risk prolonged conflict. The fighting has progressed through phases, starting with a shock and awe campaign targeting Iran's military and leadership, complicating the situation further.
