Donald Trump is the president and I’m not. He deserves credit for the successful strikes on some of Iran’s nuclear sites – carried out flawlessly by US forces after Israel had peeled apart Iran’s vaunted air defenses to allow free run of Iranian skies. But, if the president asks me, I’ll tell him he perhaps stopped a little too soon.
Yes, Iran took a hammering by any measure. But wait a while. The Iranian regime just might claim it absorbed all the blows Israel and the Americans could deliver – and was not defeated. After all, it’s still in power – and it still has the secret police and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to keep itself in power.
