Renewing the war with Iran is not rational and that is the problem.
Even if one does not believe that Iran has acquired new advanced offensive capabilities in recent months, it is clear that Iranian forces have "the ability to hit almost anything they want in the region," says US foreign policy analyst and former US Army officer Daniel Davis.
Therefore, he points out, the logical and rational thing for the US would be to find a respectable way to save face for the end of the conflict instead of starting some kind of new kinetic action against Iran.
"Here's the problem: We're dealing with someone who doesn't seem connected to reality," warns Davis.
