I tried to negotiate.
That's the way people are interpreting it.
I'm not advocating for one side or another on that point.
I'm just saying that is how it's being interpreted in Middle Eastern media, that negotiating is really not going to lead anywhere.
But when we look at the behavior of the Iranian regime, I think this is a very important point for your audience to understand.
All of this muscle flexing and having military drills in the Straits of Hormuz, which they closed today for those drills, and displaying coffins of American military brass at a public demonstration last week, and trash-talking Trump, which looks on the surface to be counterproductive.
It looks almost suicidal.
Why are they poking the bear?
Why aren't they being more conciliatory?
So I believe that what's happening here is that the regime, I think the regime feels that no matter how bad the US military strikes on them will be, they won't bring down the regime.
You can't bomb a regime out of existence.
And that's something that everyone needs to take a deep breath and understand.
You cannot bomb a regime out of existence.
You can bomb them, you can weaken them, but in the end of the day, the regime can only fall if the Iranian people bring it down.
You can create conditions that make that easier, but you cannot obliterate a regime.
And I think the regime is counting on Trump not wanting a prolonged conflict and also not being willing
or not being able politically to absorb any US casualties at all.
And therefore they don't really need to beat the American army.
They just need to survive and weather the storm of American attacks enough and possibly even slip a missile or a drone through to some American base in the region and kill a few American servicemen.
And there will be a hue and cry in the US for Trump to stop this entire thing and get out of there.
