A former US intelligence official is now speaking out about a critical moment in the country's tumultuous history with Iran. Daniel Benaim, a seasoned expert in the field, claims that the US had multiple opportunities to declare victory over Iran, but chose to ignore them. According to Benaim, these "early off-ramps" were key moments in the conflict that could have potentially led to a swift resolution, but were instead squandered. His remarks have sparked intense debate about the US's approach to diplomacy with Iran and the consequences of missed opportunities in the region.
