The most embarrassing military retreat in American history just got a name: Operation Epic Fury.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump has told aides he is willing to walk away from the Iran war even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed. 
Let that sink in.
The president is considering declaring a loss and going home while it stays shut.
Military strategists around the world are watching in disbelief.
This is a superpower that started a fight it cannot finish, blinking in public, hoping nobody notices. Trump and his team concluded that an operation to reopen the strait would extend the conflict beyond his preferred timeline of four to six weeks.  So the schedule beats the strategy. The calendar matters more than the objective. That is not how wars are won. That is how empires signal decline.
The fallback plan confirms it. Press Tehran diplomatically to restore free flow of trade. And if that fails, ask European and Gulf allies to take the lead in reopening it.  The same allies Trump spent years mocking, tariffing, and threatening. Now he needs them to finish his war.
Every military college from Sandhurst to Beijing is studying this right now. The lesson they are writing down is simple: America without its allies is a paper tiger.
Trump set an April 6 deadline for Tehran to reopen the strait or face strikes on key energy and water infrastructure.  Iran said no. The deadline is now quietly dissolving into diplomatic language.
America started a war it cannot finish.
What a joke.
