    Isn’t the war against Iran a bit counter to US interests? Is there anything positive for the US apart from increased defence production? They lost so much more…

      Just because they failed doesn’t mean it was against their interests. Iran has been a target of the West for almost a century at this point. Longer really. Defeating Iran would advance the US empire’s interests. It just that they’re struggling to accomplish it.
