Why does the U.S. military seem stymied in the war with Iran?

  there's a lot of debate and little evidence that airpower alone normally produces a durable political outcome

  or even a military one.

  Because there is no achievable win condition, and there never was. Starting this war was equivalent to losing it.

  The logistics required to win intercontinental wars against a reasonably large and well-defended country are simply beyond human organisational capabilities and it's only getting harder as defence gets better and easier, and the world becomes more interconnected.

  Israel have Monkey's Pawed themselves. They wanted Trump to win because they knew he would be malleable to start a war in Iran. But he's also Trump, which means every decision he makes comes with a big asterisk.
