Sanctions and bombs won’t end the war in Iran. Trump is running out of options against an intractable foe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Donald Trump has entangled the United States in a war of choice with Iran that he cannot easily win or quit. The war was meant to be what Trump called “a little excursion” that would be over within a few weeks. But it is now into its seventh month, with no end in sight. Trump has said he is willing to let the conflict continue for as long as needed to force Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz (which was open to free navigation before the war) and negotiate a deal over its nuclear pro

Both sides have used the mourning and commemoration occasions to claim victory in a war that has led to a fragile 60-day ceasefire for negotiating a final deal.
