NYT: Trump Seeks Quick Victory in Iran – The Risks Involved

According to a New York Times analysis, the early days of the war in Iran are challenging Donald Trump's expectations of a swift and inexpensive military intervention.

Already, six Americans have been killed, and U.S. allies in the Gulf are under attack. The stock market is volatile, and gasoline prices are rising. In Iran, an airstrike on a girls' school resulted in the deaths of 175 people.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the conflict may not be short, with more bombers and fighters arriving. Before the attack on Iran, Trump had successes, such as the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

Jason Crow warned of endless wars. Karoline Leavitt reported that Trump spoke with Kurdish leaders. John Hoffman emphasized that costs are increasing, with soldiers dead and rising oil prices. Elliot Abrams argued that there are benefits to dismantling Iran's military capabilities.

Hoffman cautioned that a destabilized Iran could create serious risks, such as mass refugee flows and a resurgence of ISIS.
