For eleven consecutive nights, American military aircraft have struck targets inside Iran, transforming what might have been a brief show of force into something that now carries the weight of sustained policy.

In the long arc of American military history, the moment a campaign requires its own budget line is often the moment it ceases to be a message and becomes a condition.
