US pivot from strikes to sanctions in Iran war shows lack of clear strategy, experts say
“America’s impatience in this war has brought the US into the conflict without coherent policy, without clear strategy, and without even trying to create a coalition to support the operation,” Dr. Lynette Nusbacher, a military historian and former head of the Strategic Horizons Unit in the UK Cabinet Office, told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.
Nusbacher spoke with the Post after Axios reported that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told foreign counterparts in recent days that "for the time being" the US was not expected to continue striking Iran, instead focusing on sanctions and economic pressure.
"The Iranian economy is in free fall, and the regime's military has been decimated," State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told Axios, "and we are cutting off every financial lifeline the regime has remaining."
