Why Trump Keeps Backing Down From Attacking Iran’s Infrastructure

from The Last American Vagabond Hosted by The Last American Vagabond

In the latest episode of Foreign Policy with Robert Inlakesh, we look at the details hidden behind US President Donald Trump’s repeated retreats after threatening to wipe out Iran’s infrastructure. The predicament of the US in West Asia has dramatically changed, its options are slim, munitions drained, and, amidst all of this, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth appears to not even know basic facts about the war he is supposedly helping to direct.
