"Trump's war on Iran is currently mired in an interminable stalemate. Iran is still firmly in control of the Strait of Hormuz and negotiations to end the conflict have stalled."
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired or sidelined more than two dozen generals and admirals over the past year, including the Army's chief of staff, Gen. Randy George."
"The Pentagon fired Jacqueline Smith, the ombudsman for Stars and Stripes, seemingly for politically motivated reasons related to editorial independence."
"Even right-wing allies of the president like Gerry Baker admit that the war is 'failing'."
Trump's military strategy in Iran is failing, leading to a stalemate that benefits Iran. In response to this international humiliation, Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are purging military leaders, including the recent firing of Secretary of the Navy John Phelan. Over the past year, Hegseth has dismissed more than two dozen high-ranking military officials. Additionally, Jacqueline Smith, the ombudsman for Stars and Stripes, was fired for resisting political pressure to compromise the newspaper's editorial independence.
