The chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger, misses a clear plan from the US government for the Iran war. “I was negatively surprised that the American government is still unable to communicate a reasonably reliable plan as to what the goal of the intervention in Iran is,” Ischinger told Stern magazine. “The worst thing that can happen is if you stumble into such operations without a clear plan that is also shared with allies.”
On the first day of the operation, US President Donald Trump used the term “regime change”. “In the meantime, Washington has changed the justification for the deployment, just as some people change their shirt,” said Ischinger. There is no longer any talk of “regime change”, “or only on the fringes”.
