He asserts that the war plans are confused and incomplete.
Contrary to Donald Trump's rhetoric, destroying Iran's nuclear program is not among the objectives.
Regime change in Iran is also not planned, so the actual government would likely remain in power.
The real objectives would primarily be to bomb missiles, ships, and drone factories.
He also criticizes the lack of a plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz and fears a long and costly war.
A change of leadership is not regime change. That's like thinking that replacing Biden with Trump is regime change. It isn't. Replacing the entire federal government would be regime change. In this context, they mean replacing the current system of government in Iran with something else.
