Initiative may be slipping away from US and Israel as Middle East crisis deepens
Few doubt that in the first days of the new war in the Middle East, the initiative belonged to the US and its ally Israel. Now it seems less sure, however.
Mohsen Rezaee, a senior officer in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, on Sunday said “the end of the war is in our hands” and called for the withdrawal of Washington’s forces from the Gulf and compensation for all damage caused by the assault.
Three weeks ago, it appeared unlikely that Tehran’s senior officials would ever sound quite so confident.
The US and Israel prove each day their massive conventional military superiority with more strikes on Iran, but it could appear the initiative is slipping away from them.
Donald Trump has given multiple timelines for the duration of the conflict, but in recent days has suggested it would only end after Iran has been forced to make concessions. Many analysts believe the US is getting trapped in a much longer war than it wanted.

Israel doesn't care, they get to genocide Palestinians and Lebanese while this goes on.
Not that it stopped them before this war started either.
It distracts the world while they ramp up their take over large areas of the West Bank.
Trump has now said other countries should aid the US in protecting the strait. It is not going well at all.
This was really badly prepared and executed and we're yet again paying the price for the brainfarts of the senile orange pedophile.
I could certainly think of something that should be well-executed.
Hurry up, we've been waiting forever...
So at what point does Netanyahu's position become untenable?
When he dies?
Maaaaybe him and Putin change their minds in hell but it won’t be until someone sends them there
Sick of headlines like these. Might as well just say "we're all fucked and its that old pedo's fault"
