Military and political analyst Elijah Magnier says he believes the US was not prepared for the war to last as long as it has, as the conflict enters its 14th day.
“I think this is a very difficult moment because the Americans did not foresee such a war lasting so long and the reaction of the Iranians and allies,” he told Al Jazeera from Brussels.
