Trump's Iran campaign echoes the post-9/11 'forever wars'
Donald Trump's Iran campaign has mirrored the prolonged, controversial conflicts of the post-9/11 era, drawing sharp criticism for its lack of international support and public backing. The U.S. faces similar challenges to those seen in Iraq and Afghanistan, with strained alliances and a war that lacks broad domestic support. Critics argue Trump has ignored key lessons from past wars, leading to a conflict that echoes the 'forever wars' of the previous administration.
