The US has rashly followed Israel into a war that will not end Iran’s nuclear programme or topple its governmentSina Toossi is a senior non-resident fellow at the Center for International PolicyThe joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran over the weekend – targeting nuclear facilities, infrastructure and symbolic state institutions – reflect the bankruptcy of a decades-long approach to Iran that has hinged on pressure, coercion and destabilisation.
