Retired US admiral: The war with Iran has reached a dead end; Washington has no good options William McCraven, a retired four-star admiral of the US Navy and former commander of the country's Special Operations Command, spoke of the formation of a "classic military stalemate" in his assessment of the war with Iran; A situation where both sides are still able to continue their attacks, but it is not clear that these actions can change the final outcome of the war. McRaven, who commanded the operation to arrest Saddam Hussein in 2003 and oversaw the operation that killed bin Laden in 2011, sees the Iran war as an example of America's long-standing strategic mistake; The idea that military superiority alone can achieve political goals. He believes that attacking targets such as bridges and power plants in Iran will not necessarily have a decisive effect on the fate of the war, and even the resumption of American attacks after the mid-term congressional elections is not expected to fundamentally change the outcome of the war.
