How Trump Is Rewriting the Rules of American Power
(Jerusalem Report) Sagiv Steinberg - America's Operation Epic Fury in Iran is not about nation-building. It is a limited, high-intensity campaign with a defined objective. "America First" does not mean strategic withdrawal and self-isolation. We are witnessing a fundamental shift in U.S. military-political doctrine toward small, focused, deeply integrated partnerships with allies willing to sacrifice, share intelligence at unprecedented levels, and jointly build operational capabilities aimed at striking the enemy at its points of maximum vulnerability. Israel is the living example: deep intelligence and operational cooperation, joint planning, and the application of precise American power grounded in Israeli capabilities, all to achieve decisive strategic effect in minimum time and with minimum entanglement. The doctrine rests on three pillars: narrowly defined military objectives; deep integration with allies that bring substantive capabilities, not merely political endorsement but action; and early action in secondary theaters to shape the conditions under which great-power competition unfolds.
