In the annals of modern geopolitical theater, few phrases carry as much ironic baggage as "mission accomplished." Eight months after the United States launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities under the codename "Operation Midnight Hammer," President Donald Trump finds himself in a rhetorical loop: simultaneously claiming to have "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program while threatening new military action to destroy that same program. This cognitive dissonance is not merely a gaffe—it is a revealing symptom of a deeper pattern. The nuclear file, long wielded as the primary justification for pressure on Tehran, is increasingly exposed as a flexible pretext for objectives that extend far beyond non-proliferation: regime change, regional containment, and the coercion of a sovereign state into compliance with Western strategic demands.
