You have the IRGC remaining as somewhat the tallest dwarf after being diminished by some substantial operations by the United States and Israel.
But it's still radicalized.
It's where the home of protection of the revolution is.
uh and it's been defanged in some ways but it's not gone and i think that the president is letting the pressure do its thing which is a more patient approach to the use of power that i think people might have expected uh does it solve all the problems and meet all the objectives i think we've largely checked the boxes the president identified going in and throughout of
nuclear program, launch capabilities, and the tentacles out of the region.
All of those, I think, by reasonable measures have been degraded, but not eliminated.
But if the finances hold in this way, then Iran and the IRGC don't have much to hold up a Hezbollah or anyone else.
And so you might have a shot of that Israel-Lebanon peace.
But all of this stuff is tenuous work in progress.
If you're going to avoid the nation build, go in, occupy and run a country, then you try to come up with what are our defined bowling lane bumpers.
that we've set up.
And I think that whether it's accidental or on purpose, we have arrived at more or less where some of those are.
Talks, yes, but do you expect them to result in much?
Maybe not.
Degraded capabilities, maybe some allies will step in now that things maybe are not in major military operations, but the president is resupplied and could strike hard and that threat is real if
the regime doesn't either crumble or relent to a deal.
Well, there definitely are some targets that have been obliterated.
We are talking about a nuclear program, though we're talking about things that are deeply underground.
When someone says obliterated, it might be that the entryway and the first hundred feet getting there have been obliterated.
It could be that the personnel that were the intellectual capital that knew how to operate the place have been eliminated or obliterated.
