The US attack on Iran is a many-faceted mess

Benchmark power prices across parts of the country will ease as renewables reduce wholesale costs for electricity, but the regulator warns its modelling does not account for the war in the Middle East...

The article details a series of unprecedented Pentagon leaks that suggest the United States may be reconsidering its involvement in the war against Iran, marking a departure from decades of military precedent. These leaks, revealed through a Washington Post report, indicate that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was warned by military leaders about the unsustainability of prolonged operations against Iran, despite his public assertions to the contrary. The leaks have sparked significant debate among analysts and commentators, with some highlighting the rarity of such actions and others pointing to deeper issues within U.S. military strategy. Conservative commentator Saagar Enjeti noted the unusual nature of the leaks, stating they reflect a desperate attempt to prevent further escalation. Retired British Army major Andrew Fox emphasized the historical significance of the leaks, suggesting they reveal a potential shift in military priorities. Foreign policy scholar Arta Moeini observed that even within the military there is a push to reduce engagement in the Middle East, contrasting it with civilian leadership's continued involvement. The article underscores growing concerns about the effectiveness and sustainability of the U.S. war effort against Iran, raising questions about future strategic directions and the role of military versus political decision-making in such conflicts.

Egan-Jones provides insights into how the ongoing Iran war may conclude, focusing on its impact on oil prices and investments.

The article examines Donald Trump's strategic aims during the conflict with Iran, which began in February 2026. Key objectives included dismantling Iran's ballistic missile capabilities, preventing nuclear proliferation, and curbing support for proxy groups. By August 2026, U.S. sources indicated that one-third of Iran’s missile arsenal had been destroyed or damaged, though the country retained the capacity to threaten regional allies via attacks in the Gulf. While the U.S. claims to have degraded Iran's conventional military power, Tehran remains defiant, demanding concessions such as compensation for the war and control over oil prices. The nuclear program saw no significant disruption; intelligence suggests Iran could still develop a weapon within under a year. Proxy groups in Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen remain active despite U.S. claims of reduced Iranian support. Trump's calls for regime change failed to topple Iran’s government, though Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed and replaced by his son early in the conflict. The war also impacted Ukraine's defense capabilities, as Patriot missile systems—critical for countering Russian strikes—became scarce due to U.S. military priorities. Overall, Trump’s goals remain partially unmet, with Iran retaining strategic leverage despite U.S. efforts.
