“Another big minus is that when a country, certainly when the United States, introduces ground forces, that tends to create all these dynamics on their own that draw in more ground forces,” Rosemary Kelanic, the director of the Middle East Program at Defense Priorities, told the Washington Examiner. “So those ground forces get attacked, you send reinforcements. The reinforcements get attacked. So then you expand the objectives to try to take out more places where your ground troops are being attacked from and, etc., etc.”
“If [the administration] really wants to make a deal with Iran, they’re going to have to ask for less, and they’re going to have to back off somewhat militarily, because twice now they’ve done this routine where they pretend to do a negotiation and then they bomb Iran,” Kelanic added. “So, I’m sure Iran is thinking we are going to bomb them imminently, because we’re talking about negotiations, and that’s just a very backwards way of doing diplomacy.”`
