This president didn't plan a war. The plan was to kill the leader and done. It didn't work. Bombing Iran beyond that was already improvisation. Everything from that point on with the threats, extensions, closures just radiates incompetence and smells of a rich guy used to getting his way confronted with a hard no.

    Is the entire US elite replaced by incompetence? Why is there no impeachment with that level of incompetence?

    The elephant in the room is that the US are going to fight China. Iran would bomb their allies then.

    Instead they have decoupled the demage from their war with China. It's strategic, like the war with Iran was prepared with the regime change in Syria, so that, with less supplies, the damage from Hamas is now limited.

    I don't think that the plan was to just kill the leader. The democratic regime change failed, there was no momentum. I think they want to keep Iran in that state of war, but with less success for Iran.
