Michael Weiss

you know, a crisis.

He's resolved a regional and international security threat that no president since Jimmy Carter has been able to resolve.

And even though that won't be true, unlike Venezuela, you don't do regime decapitation in Iran and expect to make all kinds of fun deals with whoever remains.

The IRGC in many respects is the more hardline entity in the government.

But he seems to think that there's something in place that he can do.

And God knows what the intelligence community is feeding him on this.

You know, who is the Delcy Rodriguez of Iran?

What's the state of play?

What do we think that the strategy is?

assembling all your sort of pieces in place, that has its own momentum.

And after a while, I mean, it's costing taxpayer money to keep now two aircraft carrier strike groups in the region to put all of these assets in place.

I mean, people I know in the Air Force have been deployed and told, you know, you may be gone for as long as three to six months.

Is this going to be a one and done kind of bombardment campaign or is it going to be a weeks long campaign?

I don't know.

But, you know, you mentioned the Israelis.

They're very gung ho for Trump to get involved in this because for them, it is a much more immediate security threat for them to have the current Iranian regime in place.

October 7th has changed their calculation across the board.

which is why they not only went after Hamas in Gaza, but eviscerated Hezbollah in Lebanon, accidentally toppled Bashar al-Assad, even though there's some buyer's remorse there.

So for them, this is just taking care of all family business.

And the way they see it is they're never going to get a better guy in the White House than Donald Trump to go along with it.
