The U.S. Has Lost the War in Iran

From the Globe and Mail May 16, 2026: Canadian soldiers gather at the NATO base in Kandahar on Aug. 2, 2009, for a final farewell to two Canadian soldiers killed in combat. The intervention in Afghanistan was Canada’s most ambitious foreign-policy undertaking since the Korean War.

The superpower has been defeated in war by an isolated, weakened regime detested by its own people. The U.S. will not want to admit its defeat, but Canadians should be clear eyed about the fact. The U.S. will lose considerable power from this ignominious defeat.
