VDH again brings wisdom!-----Ten Iranian Questions - Victor Davis Hanson

What Trump’s Strike Means for Iran, the Middle East, and American Power. 6/23/25
  • 1. What are we to make of Saturday night’s destruction of the three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan?
Trump and the U.S. military took a great risk and succeeded in astounding fashion. 
Operationally, the destruction of the nuclear sites seems to have gone perfectly, in contrast to a long history of America’s Middle East debacles from the failed 1980 Carter rescue mission to the 2021 flight from Kabul.
The long-overdue message to Iran is that there are finally consequences for a half-century effort of killing Americans, promising death to the U.S. and Israel, and attempting to murder a U.S. president...
  • 2. But what happens now? 
Won’t Iran release its terrorist cells in the U.S., or attack U.S. bases nearby with missiles and drones, or unleash missiles at the Gulf oil fields, or mine the Straits of Hormuz, or unleash a new unforeseen volley of missiles at Israel?
Those scenarios are endless...
