Trump Risks 'Forever War' in Iran, Breaking Promise to End Wars

President Donald Trump, who promised to "end wars, not start them," may have fallen into a familiar presidential trap by risking another American "forever war" in Iran. This potential involvement in a prolonged conflict contradicts his core campaign pledge. The pattern of promising to withdraw from overseas conflicts only to become entangled in new ones echoes the mistakes of previous administrations, such as in Afghanistan and Iraq. While Trump has often criticized those earlier wars, his current policies toward Iran could lead to a similar quagmire. Such a "forever war" would have significant consequences for regional stability and America's international standing.
