More than two weeks into the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, no end is in sight. But all wars do; this one will eventually end. So how did we get to this point, and how will the conflict be stopped? As NATO Supreme Allied commander in Europe in 1999, I led a sophisticated air campaign against Serbia to halt ethnic cleansing and faced continuing questions of how long it would last and how it might end. With that experience, I have thoughts about where this is heading.
In this campaign against Iran, American and Israeli airpower has been dazzlingly efficient. Having largely eliminated Iran’s air defenses in June, U.S. and Israeli aircraft now have free rein in the skies over most of Iran. Iran’s ballistic and drone strikes have been greatly reduced, and U.S. and Israeli air strikes are working up the supply chain to destroy storage sites, factories and workshops. Israel is targeting the regime itself by attacking police stations and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps positions.![]()
