And it seems to me that this ceasefire, again, all it really did was give the Iranians some time to rearm, maybe to get ready to shoot more of their citizens.
Well, the president went on Fox News this morning.
He said, listen, the Iranian regime is on its last legs.
OK, so declaring their finish is not the same thing as finishing them.
That is the thing.
Having a 29-point lead is not enough.
You need to finish the game.
You need to close it out.
That's the only way to do it.
The Treasury Department is ready to close it out.
So Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary, put up what I think is a pretty meaningful tweet this morning.
He said the Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing.
Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian accounts.
Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.
Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.
So I think that buried here in this tweet is one of the things –
That is a solve.
And that is a lot of worry about the Iranians responding to American action against, say, Kharg or South Paris oil field.
