Winning War With Iran Requires Patience, Says Retired Army Brigadier General
Friday, August 14, 2026
Retired US Army Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt said winning a war with Iran would require patience because Iran follows a resistance model and would consider the conflict a win if it avoids defeat. Kimmitt stated the US could not win through an air campaign alone. The Trump administration is pursuing economic rather than military pressure on Iran, according to Bloomberg.
