Trump said it would end fast. 100 days later, the war goes on | DW News

One hundred days after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, the conflict shows little sign of ending. US President Donald Trump initially predicted the war would be short, but Iran has continued to strike American and US-linked targets across the Gulf while tensions remain high over the Strait of Hormuz and regional security. Kamran Matin, Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Sussex, explains what the war has revealed about Iran's resilience, hybrid warfare strategy, information campaign and regional influence. He also discusses how Gulf states are adapting to the conflict and whether growing opposition to the war could become a political challenge for the White House. 00:00 Trump promised a quick victory 00:58 What 100 days of war revealed about Iran 02:21 How Iran's hybrid warfare surprised analysts 04:33 Gulf states caught between Washington and Tehran: Have US bases made the Gulf safer? 06:33 The battle for public opinion: Has Iran won the information war? 08:15 Could the war hurt Trump politically? #dwcurrentaffairs For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
