Military strategist Bryan Clark examines shifting war aims, escalation traps, and whether Iran is now more dangerous to the US.

He argues that the US escalated too far too fast, fell into an “escalation trap”, and may have left Iran with its most powerful lever yet: the threat of disrupting the Strait of Hormuz.
