They could draw this out automatically.
over a very long time, long after President Trump has stopped thinking about the Iran operation of 2026.
So if some remnants of the regime stay in place, and if there is still an Iranian government that is adversarial to the United States and Israel and to Europe, there is a lot of reasons to think that there is danger in the future.
You both have talked about the risks as a result of instability in Iran around the world to the U.S.
and our allies.
And that last part does make me wonder, how have our allies responded so far?
The American allies in the Middle East have responded with support for the operation, especially after they themselves were attacked by Iran on Saturday.
I'm thinking of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and other countries.
They have at least said that symbolically we support the operation, if not joining militarily.
Allies in Europe are far more cautious about
in expressing concern about the operation.
There is not a great deal, on Saturday at least, of cheering in Western European capitals about the operation.
This sort of makes me wonder whether the antagonistic stance that Trump has taken toward Europe is a factor here at all.
Stepping back here for a second, if we see the regime toppled as a result of this attack, President Trump said in his speech that he was giving the Iranian people something that no other president was willing to give them and that they have always wanted.
If this actually works, do you think we will look back at past presidents and ask ourselves why we didn't do this long ago?
Mark, what do you think?
So think back about where we were on October 7th, 2023, so two and a half years ago.
There had been this sort of static position where Iran was strong.
It had its most powerful proxy force, Hezbollah, in Lebanon that it was basically using to deter any attacks, right?
After October 7th and after the Gaza war, Israel started striking all over the place in the Middle East, including in Lebanon, to take down Hezbollah.
