A military expert suggests that the U.S. may need to consider ground intervention in its ongoing conflict with Iran due to the failure of airstrikes to achieve their objectives.
A military expert, Brigadier General Hassan Jouni, argues that the American-Israeli war efforts against Iran have thus far failed to meet their stated goals, with ground intervention now seen as the only remaining option for victory. Despite 11 days of escalating strikes, the U.S. has been unable to topple the Iranian regime or incite public unrest against it, while Iran continues to retaliate fiercely against U.S. attacks, demonstrating resilience against severe assaults.
According to Jouni, the current stage of the confrontation has led both sides to avoid being dragged into a prolonged war of attrition. The U.S., having initiated the hostilities, is under pressure to secure tangible achievements in order to justify its campaign, while Iran's focus remains on enduring the conflict rather than altering the status quo. This military assessment suggests that the U.S. is at a critical juncture where ground operations or specialized military interventions may become necessary steps.
Jouni emphasizes that air strikes alone will not be sufficient to dismantle Iran’s missile capabilities, and further air attacks are unlikely to produce significant damage, indicating a shift in military strategy may be imminent for the U.S. The implications of this analysis reflect the growing complexity of the conflict and highlight the potential escalation of military involvement in the region, as well as the grievances on both sides.
