Mark Esper Says U.S. Behind On Iran Strategy

“Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Monday that the Trump administration appears to be on its ‘back foot’ strategically in the nearly six-month war with Iran, despite heavy damage inflicted on the nation by U.S. military strikes,” NewsNation reports.

Said Esper: “Tactically, we have imposed a lot of pain on them through our U.S. military strikes against their Air Force, their Navy, their militias, their ballistic missile forces — done a lot of tactical damage.”

He added: “But strategically, we seem to be on our back foot right now.”
