But this will be primarily a large, massive air campaign to take out the ability for Iran to shoot long-range missiles, to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, and to do whatever else they want.
It's going to take a while.
This is not Venezuela.
This will take a while.
So...
Go ahead.
Here's the thing I know about Trump, though.
I don't think that he is saying, don't worry, Mr. President, because there are way too many variables with an attack such as this.
And a lot of options and cards the Iranians have to play will be involved here.
That's why I think there's so much hardware moving there.
They've been very surprising in how they deal with military or kinetic strikes.
they use subterfuge they attack when people don't expect them to attack they do things that are just completely unexpected and that's what's thrown a lot of world leaders kind of off kilter they don't really know what to expect so they're very very very good at it so i think anything i'm dreaming up right now or any other expert it's probably going to be something vastly different than what we're expecting because again they are good we also don't know what their capabilities are i do think glenn
that if this is going to be a major regional war, if the stakes are as high as potentially regime collapse and regime change, which your conversation with the Crown Prince sounds like, if this commences, the ground troops being the Iranian people will come out, there's a very real shot that the regime does come down.
But they don't have any weapons.
Yeah.
I personally think that there's a chance that because the way Iran works, and this is very important for people to understand, the way that Iran works, it's almost like a massive surveillance state.
That's what it is.
And it's built off the back of the Revolutionary Guard Corps.
So if you think of the deep state to the nth degree, surveillance state to the nth degree, that's what they built to protect the regime.
And it all runs to the Revolutionary Guard.
