Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on Modern Affairs continues with a video on the Middle East as we ask if the US and Israel can win in the current war against Iran. Previously we have covered the Iran-Israel 12 day war (youtu.be/7WUhLddDXLU) and Why the Middle East Keeps Exploding (youtu.be/rfOgb6kngsA). What does victory actually look like in a war between the United States, Israel, and Iran? In this video, we examine a dramatic escalation in the Middle East and ask whether overwhelming military superiority can really deliver political success. After the June 2025 war failed to settle the conflict, a new round of fighting erupts, beginning with massive American and Israeli strikes on Iran’s leadership, military infrastructure, missile sites, and nuclear facilities. Iran answers not by collapsing, but by expanding the war across the region, hitting bases, Gulf infrastructure, and helping trigger a wider energy crisis through the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. We break down how the conflict evolved, why Iran’s asymmetric strategy matters, how drone and missile warfare changed the battlefield, and why the blockade of Hormuz may be one of the most important developments in the war. Most importantly, we explore the real endgame: regime change, elimination of Iran’s nuclear potential, and the destruction of its conventional military power. Have the United States and Israel achieved any of those goals in a meaningful way, or have they only won tactically while failing strategically? This video looks at where the war stands and why the outcome remains deeply uncertain.
