Almost two weeks into the war, as the Pentagon releases a growing roster of targets that have been struck (more than 5,000 in the first 10 days), administration officials remain at a loss to explain how they see the war ending, and what they want Iran to look like afterward. The military has said it is in the second phase of what is likely a four-phase plan: initial strikes, control of Iran’s airspace, stabilization, and withdrawal. Administration officials have suggested that completing the operation could take at least another two weeks. At a rally in Kentucky last night, Trump asked his supporters, “We don’t want to leave early, do we? We’ve got to finish the job, right?” He defined the goal only as avoiding the need to return “every two years.”
