President Donald Trump’s approach to Iran may risk repeating the strategic mistakes of the 2003 Iraq War.

Axar.az, citing CNN, reports that while no military action has been decided, Trump has deployed the largest U.S. naval and air buildup in the region since Iraq, possibly to leverage upcoming Geneva talks led by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Analysts warn that public support is low, justifications for war are unclear, and a strike could result in high casualties and unpredictable regime-change outcomes, as Iran may retain hardline anti-U.S. elements.

Trump has emphasized missile threats and nuclear risks, echoing Bush-era rhetoric, and a military strike could be framed as fulfilling promises to protesters and reshaping the Middle East.

However, the potential costs and uncertainty mirror past U.S. miscalculations in Iraq.
