In the Australian media, again, Laura is a lone voice. The US is losing this war. #auspol #Iran https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-14/united-states-iran-war-donald-trump-middle-east-strategy/106436200?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other
The US is no longer directing the war against Iran

If there ever was a strategy behind Donald Trump's decision to blow up the Middle East, it is lying in tatters as the second week of the Iran war draws to a close.

@andyjennings Personally I would have referred to the three parties in the article as antagonists rather than protagonists - its not a story about heroes.

But thats really nitpicking to an article reflecting reality (as much as it can be done practically) rather than assumptions of US supremacy.

@crouton if I was Trump I would’ve dumped Netanyahu by this point. But he doesn’t use logic.

@andyjennings The US can put more bombs on targets than Iran, but Iran can hit more painful targets - burn 100 tankers & the world notices.
The US could do devastating damage to Iran's economy, but their leadership would not stop fighting to avoid that.
