Three critical strategic failures have emerged, according to the Times. First, Trump repeated historical mistakes by assuming regime change through air power alone would succeed. Despite this precedent, Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have pursued vague regime-change scenarios — arming Kurdish minorities or encouraging Iranian security forces to defect. Trump encouraged street protests in January, but "Iran's regime massacred thousands of demonstrators and remained securely in charge of the country."

Second, Trump has not addressed Iran's nuclear stockpile. Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged that "People are going to have to go and get it," yet Trump responded to questioning about uranium: "We're not focused on that."

Third, Trump failed to anticipate economic consequences. Military adviser General Dan Caine warned that Iran would likely attack shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump dismissed these concerns. Oil prices have since "jumped more than 40 percent." Trump responded by lifting sanctions on Russia and pleading with traditional allies to protect shipping lanes.

The underlying problem reflects Trump's broader approach, the Times concluded. "Throughout his business and political career, Mr. Trump has often sought to create his own reality. When the truth is inconvenient, he ignores it and tells self-serving falsehoods." However, "war tends to be less amenable to spin than politics or marketing. The early reality of the Iran war is not cooperating with Mr. Trump's bluster."
