Sometimes hunters end up being hunted. This seems to be the case with the US and Israel. Donald Trump’s victory assertions look hollow when people ask why the war with Iran is still on if he has ‘won’ it? As the war unfolds, he neither has any justification to begin it nor a concrete plan to wriggle out of it. Trump is trapped in a quagmire.

Iran proves five-thousand-year-old civilizations don't fold up in a few days of bombing. On the opening day, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed along with his 44 top leaders. The US and Israel thought that like in Iraq, people would revolt in Iran. But the reverse happened.

People took to the streets to mourn Khamenei’s death. Iran retaliated with its drones and missiles. It happened because Iran decentralized administrative command. Now, every area commander is free to make independent decisions. A visibly irritated US and Israel increased their intensity of bombing barrage. It was carried out so irresponsibly that on 28 February two bombs were dropped on a girls’ school, killing 168 students and 4 teachers.
