War on Iran failed to achieve US goals: US media

• Experts cited by The New York Times said the US war has failed to achieve its stated objectives after six months, with Iran’s government still in place.
• They warned that escalating economic pressure could deepen uncertainty over Washington’s aims and potentially lead to a strategic defeat.

The US war on Iran has failed to achieve Washington’s objectives, according to experts cited in an analysis published by The New York Times.

The analysis noted that Iran’s government remains in power six months into the war, while the goals set by the United States have not been achieved.

The assessment comes as US President Donald Trump has shifted from direct military action toward escalating economic pressure on Tehran.

According to the experts, the transition from military operations to economic warfare is unlikely to persuade Iran to change its strategy.

Instead, continued pressure could have the opposite effect by increasing uncertainty over US objectives and weakening Washington’s credibility.

The analysis suggested that Tehran may view the continued pressure as evidence that the United States has yet to establish a clear path toward achieving its goals.

The experts warned that maintaining the current approach could ultimately lead Washington toward a strategic defeat.

After failing to achieve its objectives through military action, the United States now faces uncertainty over whether economic pressure can deliver the results that the war failed to produce.

The assessment underscores the growing gap between Washington’s stated objectives and its ability to translate military and economic pressure into political outcomes in Iran.
