You wouldn't know it from the stock market, right?
Just chugging along.
The findings which have been briefed to the administration appear to underscore the dilemma President Donald Trump faces in a war that he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began in late February.
Trump's current course of ever-expanding attacks appears to have led to a stalemate.
But with the war deeply unpopular at home, more on that in the next segment, continuing escalation by the United States, such as the possible introduction of ground troops, poses political risks for the president with no guarantee of military success.
The latest intelligence report was written primarily by the CIA, where analysts have underscored the Tehran regime's staying power despite the loss of many of its top leaders and much of its military hardware to U.S.
and Israeli attacks.
In May, a CIA analysis concluded that Iran could survive a U.S.
naval blockade for at least three to four months before facing more severe economic hardship.
But could America bear not getting Iranian oil for that four months?
I think not.
Jonathan Panikoff, former deputy U.S.
national intelligence officer for the Near East, said that the Trump administration appears to believe that if it keeps hitting Iran harder militarily, Tehran eventually will become more flexible.

That assessment is almost certainly incorrect, said Panikoff, senior director at the Atlantic Council think tank.

It's the Washington Post.
They're going to say regime.
If they have a regime, we have a regime.
