Examining the Potential for Long-Term Conflict Between the US and Iran

27 Temmuz 2026Al Jazeera

In a discussion led by Marc Lamont Hill, sociologist Ali Kadivar explores the historical context and implications of a potential prolonged conflict between the US and Iran. They analyze past engagements and the patterns that suggest a risk of a 'forever war' scenario.
The conversation sheds light on the complexities of US-Iran relations and the factors that could perpetuate hostilities.
The US-Iran relationship has been fraught with tension since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, characterized by a series of conflicts and confrontations. Recent geopolitical developments, including nuclear negotiations and regional power struggles, have reignited fears of a long-term military engagement.
The notion of a 'forever war' raises critical questions about the sustainability of US military involvement in Iran. Historical precedents indicate that once entrenched, military conflicts can become self-perpetuating, often driven by political, economic, and social dynamics.
