This is a new expansion of the goals of conflict.
US President Donald Trump has said he will not agree to anything short of "unconditional surrender" from Iran. This is a new expansion of the conflict's goals that experts say could extend the war indefinitely, writes The New York Times.
After a week of Israeli-American campaigning, Iran has shown no willingness to capitulate, instead expanding attacks on Arab states with American bases, using missiles and drones. Trump has been pushing for capitulation on social media and promising that the U.S. and its allies will "work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction."
The president's announcement demonstrates his desire to combine America's military might with personal influence to change the leadership of his enemies. His demands have already elicited conflicting signals from aides and allies in Congress. White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt clarified that "unconditional surrender" will be stated when Trump decides that military objectives have been achieved.
The US administration's goals have changed repeatedly in recent days, from regime change in Iran to destroying its nuclear program and missile capabilities. Trump compares Iran to Venezuela, where he believes U.S. actions have allowed the appointment of leaders who comply with U.S. demands.
At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu defines his goal as the complete dismantling of Iran's regime to permanently neutralize its nuclear program and missile arsenal. It is unclear how Trump will respond to the possible collapse of the Iranian government and whether he will send U.S. troops into Iran.
"Epic Fury" - What's Next
Factually, the demand for "unconditional surrender" suggests scenarios similar to the occupation of Japan after World War II, which lasted seven years. Experts note that implementing such a policy in Iran would be more difficult because of the country's religious and ethnic diversity.
Despite Trump's bellicose rhetoric, international mediators are trying to find a path to negotiations. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said many countries have offered peace talks and Oman, Egypt and Turkey could play a role in resolving the conflict.
