As the conflict in Iran enters its fourth week, President Donald Trump’s strategy of engaging in a war without direct ground involvement faces growing challenges. Analyst Becca Wasser, Bloomberg Economics' Defense Lead, joins David Gura and Christina Ruffini on Bloomberg This Weekend to examine the limitations of such an approach in a complex geopolitical landscape. The discussion focuses on how sustained military actions without traditional troop deployments affect strategic outcomes and international perception.
The conversation highlights the evolving nature of modern warfare, where digital and economic pressures play a significant role alongside conventional tactics.

The analysis underscores the difficulties in achieving decisive results through indirect methods, particularly when dealing with a resilient adversary like Iran.
