Answering the 10 most important questions about the Iran war

Martin Gurri

Donald Trump excels as a cheerleader, not as a teacher or explainer. He’s a man bereft of doubt, who has trouble understanding the uncertainties that haunt the rest of us mere mortals.

And of course, the vast anti-Trump alliance has a stake in sowing confusion.

The president has a mighty voice, but his opponents are just as loud — and they believe that promoting an American catastrophe, if it hurts Trump, would be for the greater good. So allow me, good reader, to cut through the Trumpian boasts, the fog of war, Democratic hysteria and media falsifications, and offer you simple answers to the 10 most important questions about the Iran war. The B1 bridge in Karaj, Iran, seen damaged by a strike on April 3, 2026, as the US-Israeli war with Iran continues.
