Have We Broken Iran’s Will Yet?
Not yet. And we can’t breathe easy until we do.
Kenneth R. Timmerman | May 3, 2026
War is all about breaking the enemy’s will to fight. Clearly, we haven’t yet done that in Iran.
The regime continues to thump its chest in public, threatening its neighbors, threatening us, and claiming to have won the war. That is not the behavior of an enemy on its knees.
The regime’s latest peace “proposal” is no more than a rehash of the irredentist talking points it has been trotting out regularly for decades. The Iranians claim sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. They assert their “right” to enrich uranium (and to exclude it from the negotiations). They refuse limits on their ballistic missiles and drones and are not prepared to abandon arming proxies such as Hamas and Hezb’allah.
That’s no peace proposal. It’s a defiant declaration of war.
But even dictators reach a breaking point, when they throw in the towel, commit suicide, or sue for peace.
