Can the US and Israel sustain a war of attrition with Iran? | The Jerusalem Post
Summary
The Middle East has a long history of wars of attrition. It now appears that the Trump administration is prepared for a war of attrition with the Iranian regime. The evidence for this is that we have now seen several rounds of fighting. The first round was in June 2025, when the US supported Israeli strikes on Iran.
