From Iran to Venezuela, Trump toys with 'in-and-out' military options

US President Donald Trump is considering strikes on Iran, emboldened by a series of 'in-and-out' military operations like the recent US attack in Venezuela. Experts suggest that the swift tactical success and minimal domestic pushback from these interventions have encouraged Trump's confidence in this approach. The US is able to engage in multiple interventions simultaneously, a global reach that rivals like Russia and China cannot match, partly because it targets weaker foes like a sanctioned Iran. This strategy is described as a 'low-cost model of regime change,' where the US avoids long-term commitments of troops or state-building.
