Mark Dubowitz

Mark Dubowitz Ross, thanks for having me.

Honored to be here.

Well, short answer is yes.

Longer answer is, depends what you mean by winning.

And if you mean based on what President Trump laid out as the objectives of the United States, then we are winning.

And those objectives, he was very clear.

It's essentially to destroy the war-making capabilities of the Islamic Republic.

which includes its missile program, its Navy, and its nuclear capabilities.

And I think with that in mind, it's only been three weeks in.

I think the U.S.

military, along with the Israelis, have done a pretty extraordinary job of severely degrading those capabilities across all lines of power projection.

I mean, the missile program has been severely degraded.

Ross, give you a sense.

I mean, they had the largest missile inventory in the Middle East before the war started.

Their ballistic missile production rate is now zero.

Their launchers have been reduced by two-thirds.

The Iranian Navy has been decimated.

The nuclear program, I think, is still to be determined.

But between the 12-day war last year and Israeli strikes against the nuclear facilities during the past three weeks, the program has been set back even further.

more severely.
