DESCRIPTION

Everyone is asking whether President Trump’s Iran strategy failed after nearly six months of conflict, falling public support and continuing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.

But what if that is the wrong way to measure the campaign?

Tonight on Restricted Republic, we examine the evidence behind a dramatically different theory: America’s military campaign may have been only the first phase of a larger strategy designed to dismantle Iran’s military power, choke its oil revenue, isolate its financial networks and ultimately force Tehran into negotiations from a position of weakness.

Iran’s oil exports have plunged. Its currency and economy are under enormous pressure. Gasoline shortages are spreading. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has launched Operation Economic Outcast. China now faces increasing sanctions pressure. Washington is reducing immediate military escalation while Iran and Oman discuss the Strait of Hormuz.

And another development in Syria may reveal just how much bigger the strategy really is.

Was Trump’s Iran strategy a failure—or are we watching the endgame only now begin?
