General (Ret.) Barry McCaffrey: "In my judgment, the United States Armed Forces have probably permanently lost access to 15 Persian Gulf bases. Iran is now poised to control access to the Gulf States. The United States will have to negotiate new access in western Saudi Arabia, Israel, and southern Europe."
This is part of the legacy of Donald Trump, the loser of the #IranWar.

When your military used up almost all of its missiles, you could claim to be the author of a new book about this situation. Through the magic of #AI, here is Donald Trump and his new book about the #IranWar #OperationEpicFailure.

"The U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, which has been deployed for nine months in the Middle East, headed home to California on Thursday, weeks after reports first emerged of tough conditions for sailors on board":
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/08/20/us/trump-news
These sailors are coming home only because some of them complained. If they would have suffered in silence, they would still be on that Hellship near Iran for many more months.

Jamelle Bouie: "Trump’s failed war with Iran is a military failure and disastrous strategic mistake. There is no apparent plan to end the conflict, only the futile efforts of a president desperate to shed the stench of defeat. That is what the false negotiations and endless missile strikes are all about: a way to try to end the war without having lost it":

After the truce with Iran ended, you might think that the US military would massively bomb Iran, but incompetent Trump has too few bombs to do that. Instead, Trump is talking tough, threatening to bomb Oman. But if he does not have enough bombs to attack Iran, then he does not have enough bombs to attack Oman.
