Aug 14th, 2026 Winning War With Iran Requires Patience, Says Retired Army Brigadier General Retired US Army Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt said winning a war with Iran will require patience on the side of the United States because Iran follows a model of resistance and will consider the war a win if they don't lose. Kimmitt also cast doubt on the idea that the US could win the war with an air campaign alone as the Trump administration moves to put economic rather than military pressure on Iran.
