Prevent Escalation

The widening conflict with Iran demands a clear strategy focused on preventing further U.S. military involvement and greater regional instability. America should avoid deeper entanglements and prioritize de-escalation.

Diplomatic Solutions

While protecting U.S. interests, diplomacy and de-escalation must be prioritized to find a sustainable 'endgame' for the conflict. Military action should always be a last resort after exhausting all non-military options.

Strategic Autonomy

The U.S. must maintain strategic autonomy in foreign policy, ensuring that U.S. actions are aligned with American interests rather than solely those of allies. Open-ended conflicts drain resources and attention from domestic needs.
