US Military Strategy in Iran Mirrors Previous Failures in Iraq and Africa

United States military operations targeting Iran have repeated strategic failures previously seen in Africa and the Middle East, according to an analysis by Le Figaro. Writer Renaud Gérard notes that President Donald Trump relied on assessments from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mossad Director David Barnea, who predicted a rapid collapse of the Iranian regime. These projections failed to materialize as the Iranian government demonstrated resilience and avoided a systemic internal crisis. Consequently, the U.S. eventually accepted a ceasefire with Tehran and began seeking a new diplomatic agreement. The analysis concludes that U.S. attempts to impose democracy through force across the Islamic world have consistently resulted in failure.
