As the Israeli-United States effort to emasculate Iran concludes its third week, it’s left in a standoff period. With Iran having no navy, air force, or missile defenses, and an army facing no ground opposition, they’ve gridlocked the conflict, explains Victor Davis Hanson. “The thing to remember, I think, historically, is that tactical success is not necessarily equivalent to strategic victory or resolution. By that, I mean, we had impressive tactical victories in Iraq and Afghanistan… but we did not have a plan of strategic resolution…. We’re not going to go in on the ground [in Iran.] All we can do is emasculate the theocracy.”
