The US military campaign against Iran
0:02
has intensified debates at home and
0:04
abroad as questions mount over President
0:07
Donald Trump's true objectives and
0:10
endame in the conflict. Bloomberg.com

plus1 despite strong military action
0:16
alongside Israel officials in Washington
0:20
have offered mixed messages about what
0:22
the United States hopes to achieve,
0:25
leaving analysts and the public unclear
0:27
on the long-term strategy.
0:30
Some statements suggest the goal is to
0:32
dismantle Iran's nuclear and missile
0:35
capabilities while others hint at
0:38
broader political outcomes that have yet
0:40
to be spelled out.
0:43
>> SNP Global Plus One. President Trump has
0:46
publicly said that initial expectations
0:49
were for the conflict to last four to 5
0:52
weeks. Though he acknowledged it could
0:54
extend far longer if necessary.
0:57
But beyond duration, he has not clearly
1:00
defined what constitutes success or how
1:03
eventual peace or stability would be
1:06
secured.
1:08
SNP global critics say the lack of a
1:12
coherent message has fostered
1:14
uncertainty both internationally and
1:17
within the US with some commentators
1:19
labeling the approach as OPAC or lacking
1:23
a clear political endame.
1:26
Others argue that the administration's
1:28
focus remains on limiting Iran's
1:30
regional influence rather than achieving
1:33
a negotiated settlement.
1:36
foreign policy. Amid these questions,
1:39
the conflict has already drawn global
1:41
attention with regional powers closely
1:44
watching developments and calling for
1:46
restraint even as military operations
1:49
continue.
1:51
As the United States and its allies
1:53
press on, the world is left to wonder
1:57
what exactly is the endame and how will
2:00
stability ultimately be achieved in one
2:03
of the world's most volatile regions.

2:11

>> We must unite now. We must have one
2:29
army. We must have one currency. We must
2:33
have one foreign policy. We must be
2:36
united.
2:40
And I can hear the Osagia for saying I
2:44
do not want to be the leader of that
2:46
country. I simply want unity and I'm
2:50
saying that we must leave here with one
2:52
united government. They listen not to
2:55
the Osag.

I can still hear
