Trump needs to reject Netanyahu’s quest for a forever war | Kenneth Roth

Kenneth Roth argues that President Trump should end the US-Israeli bombing campaign in Iran, now in its third week, rather than continue supporting what he characterizes as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's strategy for prolonged conflict. Roth contends the sustained bombing has reinforced Iran's regime rather than achieving regime change, while costs mount and stated objectives become unclear. He asserts Iran did not conduct an actual or imminent attack that would legally justify a defensive war under international standards. Roth calls for urgent diplomatic off-ramps to conclude what he describes as a destructive conflict with no clear endpoint. The commentary reflects growing debate within foreign policy circles over the duration and strategic rationale for the bombing campaign.
