What would the U.S. winning in Iran look like?
What would the United States have to do to win a war with Iran? The answer depends on how you define “winning,” according to The Atlantic’s Nancy Youssef.
“One option would be to declare victory again,” Youssef told moderator Jeffrey Goldberg on Friday.
President Donald Trump’s other options, Youssef said, include escalating the conflict, continuing economic sanctions or trying to return to the negotiating table.
On Monday, Trump said the U.S. and Iran were in contact with each other and that newly renewed talks between the two sides were Iran’s “last chance” to avoid escalating the war.
