US militarily lost Iran war on April 8th, says defence analyst

About this episode

The headline refers to a comment by UK defense analyst Michael Clarke. In a recent interview, Clarke argued that the United States had effectively "militarily lost" the Iran war by April 8, 2026, because it failed to achieve a decisive military outcome and instead accepted a ceasefire after both sides became concerned about further escalation.
