Decapitation, Epic Fury and the Unknown

Mick Ryan

It is now two days since the beginning of the US-Israel military campaign against Iran. Unlike the other strikes against Iran in the post 7 October 2023 era, the military strikes commenced in broad daylight which appears to have caught the Iranians off guard.

As American and Israeli military strikes continue, and Iran pursues its campaign of retaliatory strikes across the Middle East, I wanted to provide a short update. This will cover the current situation with the military campaign, the context for these provided by Trump’s stated political objectives for the war, and finally, pose some insights and questions about this new war against Iran.
