Rush Job: The Iran War's Two Ticking Clocks - William Spaniel

[TexasTowelie]

The story of the Iran War consists of two ticking clocks: one that started before the United States fired the first shots, and another that began immediately afterward. Today's video looks at the time pressure the United States had to initiate the conflict while there was still protestor momentum in the country. This simultaneously explains the disjointed war plan while raising questions about whether the war was a good idea from the outset. We then examine the race between U.S. stockpiles and the Iranian government's survival.
