But the Iranian art of the deal is to wave a missile and hope that there's a deal that has sanctions relief and access to frozen funds
on the back end.
But when it comes to the nuclear side, the second part, that is, my view, is even harder to achieve.
The regime doesn't have a nuclear arsenal, thank goodness, but it does have significant fissile material, including highly enriched uranium, that I think, so long as it remains buried in Iran and the US communicates clearly that it will strike anybody that moves towards those previously declared nuclear sites, things should be okay.
But this is a regime that's proven its intent on rebuilding, repairing, and rearming anyway.
So that is a band-aid.
It's not a long-term solution.
And I think the long-term solution relies either on extracting that uranium or having a policy that is much bigger than counterproliferation, but having a policy that is counter-regime in its entirety.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What do you think?
Well, I don't think it's hyperbole to say that we're still in quite the explosive situation.
There is a war going on, but it's a...
A very asymmetric war.
The U.S.
and Israel are trying to attrite the military capacity and capability of the Islamic Republic, whereas the Islamic Republic itself is trying to attrite the resolve of America, Israel, and the West, in particular by going against the region, the Arab world, critical infrastructure, energy, oil shipping, you name it.
So there is a war.
The tools of the war, the weapons of the war, the targets of the war are quite different.
And we're now past the one month marker.
I still think Uncle Sam needs a bit more time to even win on points, to even win on a technicality, which is this defanging and degrading and destruction mission.
