The war in Iran began with a promise: President Trump told the American public it would be over in two to three weeks, a short, sharp shock to decimate the regime’s military capability. Nearly ten weeks in, the goalposts have shifted repeatedly, the Strait of Hormuz is effectively under Iranian control, and the U.S. finds itself in a grinding conflict with no clear off-ramp. On Piers Morgan Uncensored, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett defended the war as necessary, while a panel of experts and a Kurdish deputy prime minister debated whether a diplomatic solution is even possible.

The Nuclear Threshold and the Logic of War

The core justification for the war, according to Bennett, was preemption. Iran was in the process of creating a “shield” by moving nuclear material underground and mass-producing ballistic missiles, which would have made it “unattackable” and allowed it to race toward a nuclear weapon. “We had to act before we’d lose the ability to act,” Bennett said. He argued that the alternative—a nuclear-armed Iran with a “nuclear umbrella”—was far worse than the current conflict, which he described as a choice between “very difficult and worse.”

Reports this weekend indicate that President Trump is “bored” of the Iran ‘excursion.’ Iran, meanwhile, seems bent on humiliating him. The White House waited almost a week for a response to its ‘memorandum’, which is basically a proposal to start talking about a proposal to end the conflict.

Tehran then watered down most of the US demands and added several of its own - including formal dominion of the Strait of Hormuz and reparations. And the US must also grapple with the fact that Israel, its partner in this war, is in no mood for ending it.Trust is becoming a major barrier to ending the war. Can Trump trust the Iranians? Will the Iranians trust Trump? And can either side trust Israel to end the war even if they do?
