How the Iran war ends is important.
Wall Street Journal (Viewpoint) - David Petraeus, former CIA chief: Everyone wants the war with Iran to end; Me too but that's what matters how it ends.
A deal that would allow Iran to restore its revenues and maritime trade, continue to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, rebuild its nuclear program and keep its highly enriched uranium would not serve the interests of the US and its allies, but would set the stage for the next crisis.
It's a battle between competing watches. Tehran's clock shows how long the regime can withstand oil revenue losses, trade restrictions, damage to infrastructure and continued military pressure. Washington's clock shows how long the American public will endure high energy prices, trade disruptions, military risk and seemingly endless conflicts.
