Both the United States and Israel wanted this war to happen, but they did not want it to drag on. That is correct, but i believe they ought to have expected Iran to block the Strait once the attacks started; so what measure was planned to counter that, apparently none. So in other words, there was no way this wasn't going to drag on. They knew Iran wouldn't simply reopen the Strait because Trump said so, they are at war. He tried to talk othe NATO allies into getting involved in the "war" in the Strait, we know how that ended, but i cannot believe that was the plan from the beginning. Do you remember the 12day war that took place in June 2025? After the United States attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities, and Iran retaliated. But then, unexpectedly, both sides quickly reached a ceasefire agreement, with each side claiming victory I think that made Trump overconfident and believe they could do the same thing in this war. But unfortunately for them, this time Iran refused an early ceasefire, and they were better prepared for a second attack. It can be argued that the United States and Israel underestimated Iran in this conflict.
