Opinion | You Probably Have the Iran War Backward

In this opinion piece, the author argues that the prevailing narrative about the potential for war with Iran is flawed. Instead, the author contends that the economic blockade and sanctions are proving effective, with the U.S. maintaining its pressure on Tehran likely to force a change in Iran's policies. This approach underscores the importance of economic leverage over military action, suggesting that sustained sanctions could lead to significant shifts in Iran's behavior. For those who believe in a looming conflict, this perspective offers a compelling alternative view that emphasizes diplomacy over confrontation.
