Victor Davis Hanson: Iran War Ends in One of Three Ways

President Donald Trump recently outlined the endgame for Iran. How does it end? There are three scenarios:

👉 Bomb the mullahs back to the Stone Age, hoping a popular uprising takes root and overthrows the regime.

👉 The Venezuela solution: Install a current, more moderate member of the regime as a transitional figure until elections can be held.

👉 Bomb the infrastructure and leave.Donald Trump recently outlined the end game for Iran.

We’ve been there about a month, and he was saying in week five it would take two or three weeks, so maybe seven weeks total or two months. That got people very angry and said it’s an endless war.

And the people on the left, remember, don’t want the war to work because they want to win the midterms. And they’re not, they haven’t been successful so far in hurting Trump, but they feel that if they can create a narrative that this is an Afghanistan-like withdrawal, which they oversaw that was a disaster, or a Vietnam or an Afghanistan or Iraq, maybe they can bring him down.
