      President Donald Trump is faced with a dramatic choice: either to escalate his war on Iran by sending in [ground troops](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/politics/trump-iran-ground-war.html)—or to pull out altogether. For the past month, he’s simply been bombing as many targets as U.S. intelligence can identify, on the assumption that massive firepower precludes the [need for a strategy](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/03/iran-war-trump-us-news-supreme-leader-ayatollah.html).

      It’s clear this mindlessness is no longer tenable. He has killed Iran’s top echelons of leaders and blown up a lot of structures, but the basic elements of the regime—a theocratic state fueled by an oppressive elite military, reduced in arms but still powerful, with the stuff of a potential nuclear arsenal hidden away—remain.

      He has recently moved on to laying the groundwork for unilaterally declaring victory. That was the whole point of the “we regime changed them real good, we did” rhetoric. That and blaming NATO for not bailing him out, thus trying to shift the blame to an organization he explicitly excluded from the planning, seems to strongly indicate that Trump is considering some sort of capitulation.

      But it’ll probably escalate before it deescalates. Trump seems determined to pick some of the worst courses of action in this conflict.
