Some conservative voices are saying the Iran war is going in America’s favor: “We won. Iran lost. Period,” says CNN’s Scott Jennings. Hugh Hewitt concurs, and the Wall Street Journal editorial page agrees the tide is turning. The American military is getting oil from the United States’ Gulf allies flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, while choking off Iran’s exports.
In his take this week, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria argues that while this is a remarkable display of military ingenuity, but it does not make the war a success. Also, Fareed talks to Kim Ghattas, a contributing editor at the Financial Times about Iran and how Lebanon went from ‘the Paris of the Middle East’ to being enveloped by conflict.
