As the U.S. marks the 25th anniversary of 911attacks, its military campaign against #Iran is drawing comparisons with the prolonged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Reuters reported.
Despite the U.S. administration's pledge to end foreign wars, six months of conflict with Iran have left Washington mired in a war of attrition with no clear exit strategy.
Analysts see familiar patterns, including underestimating Iran's resilience, regional spillover and mounting economic and political costs.
They warn the conflict could drag on beyond November's midterm elections and risk becoming another version of a post-9/11 "forever war."
