Operation “Epic Fury” is over, according to the United States. The Iran war has now been rebranded “Project Freedom” – though that too is on pause. So far, the $25 billion conflict has delivered plenty of fury but with little clarity.

But he’s also warned that if diplomacy fails, military action will resume “at a much higher level and intensity.” So where does this leave both sides?
