We looked at these scenarios and more — each one highly risky, highly resource intensive, and highly unlikely to have the effect Trump seeks. For Iran, these will be far from “final blows” in an existential conflict. On @TheTerminal: blinks.bloomberg.com/news/stories/T…

There is no silver bullet for the Iran problem. Any major move that expands the scope of the conflict will almost certainly trigger an Iranian response thus raising the cost of the campaign, especially for the global economy. But there is a deeper issue: what is the actual objective behind a so-called “decisive strike”? Such a move will neither topple the regime nor force its surrender. If the goal is to coerce Iran into submission, it would require far more than a single strike. it would mean a prolonged, complex military campaign. And if the real objective is true capitulation, then we should be honest: that implies regime change. The search for a quick, clean solution is understandable given the frustration with a war of attrition. But there is no shortcut here—and no decisive outcome without accepting the full strategic cost. #IranWar
