Former Special Forces soldier Nicholas Irving challenges the narrative that the conflict with Iran has ended victoriously for the U.S. Reflecting on past wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Irving argues there was no clear winner, noting that adversaries like the Taliban and ISIS still persist. Applying this lens to Iran, he points out that Tehran continues to exert influence, including shutting down the strategic Strait of Hormuz and impacting global economies. Irving is skeptical about claims that nuclear threats have been neutralized, warning that Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is likely inevitable. He contends that mere military strikes won’t change Iran’s determination, predicting that only a total shift in mindset—or a course resembling Israel’s hardline tactics—might halt their ambitions. Irving also questions the political will to escalate conflict, suggesting negotiations may ultimately be unavoidable but come at the cost of significant concessions. The consensus: if the war is over, the U.S. hasn’t truly won—and Iran may still gain nuclear capabilities.
