1 chapters across the catalog

Joe Kent explains the misalignment between U.S. and Israeli goals, noting that Israel has a high tolerance for regional chaos as long as the IRGC is weakened. While the U.S. has tactical objectives like bombing the Iranian Navy, it lacks a clear strategic end state. Kent argues that the U.S. should declare victory after destroying Iranian hardware and focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
