Renewed strikes put Washington’s appetite for a prolonged war to a familiar historical test, analysts say The renewed cycle is testing both Tehran’s resilience and Washington’s appetite for a prolonged conflict, prompting some analysts to draw uncomfortable parallels with the political tolls that past US presidents faced in drawn-out wars such as in Vietnam and Afghanistan. The US military on Wednesday said it had launched a “90-minute wave” of precision strikes that had “further degraded Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz”. Tehran, which insists it controls the strait, has launched retaliatory drone and missile attacks on US-linked targets in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, vowing the waterway would stay closed “until the US ends its aggression”.
