​Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer says the US needs to go back into Iran “hard and quick” to “finish the job”. ​“I’ve said for months and months…the easiest way to finish this job is to go in there really quick, and really hard to finish the job on your own terms, and then get the heck out,” Mr Hammer told Sky News host Rita Panahi. ​“This constant back and forth is not doing anyone any favours. ​“There are four key goals that I've been saying personally…One, a free and open Strait of Hormuz, two, an end to the regime's funding of the regional proxies, three, an end to the ballistic missile threat, and four, some sort of resolution to the nuclear issue.”
