The Failure of Strategy in the Iran War

Remote Visualization

Host Seth Jones explores the elements of strategy, and what makes it so difficult in practice, with Dr. Eliot A. Cohen, the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at CSIS and professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins SAIS. Drawing on his recent trip to Israel and his new book, The Strategist: How to Think About War and Politics, Dr. Cohen discusses how Israel views the prospect of a long war with Iran, examines the United States and Israel's strategy in the war against Iran, unpacks the questions he believes every strategist must answer, and explains the virtues that underpin sound strategic decision-making.
