Iran in driver's seat, Trump faces humiliation: Top US military strategist

In an exclusive interview with India Today's Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai, Colonel Douglas MacGregor, former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense under President Trump, said that Iran is in driver's seat while Trump faces humiliation in the ongoing West Asia war. 

He said, "Strategically, I think Iran is in the driver's seat, and the only hope left for President Trump, who faces a very real probability of humiliation at home and humiliation around the world." He predicted a massive offensive after the five-day ceasefire ends, involving airstrikes and attempts to seize Persian Gulf islands like Kharg.MacGregor dismisses the island seizure strategy as 'World War II thinking' unsuitable for 21st-century warfare dominated by precision strikes and surveillance.
